Pros

Garmin gave me something valuable: real cross-disciplinary experience, work that actually matters, and proof that internal mobility is possible. Writing software for avionics that pilots rely on isn't something most engineers can say they have done, and it has been an incredible opportunity.

Cons

Recent Garmin Aviation-wide Return to Office mandate.
