Garmin India is a very small team all work individually with a team goal in the head, since its a technology company so, a lot of periodic training sessions also happens, Career growth in Garmin Ind. is slow because the number of people are less (12), whereas, salary/appraisal is very motivating better than industry standards, Travel is comfortable, Politics is non-existence, Learning is good, Work environment is result orientated, Garmin is full of Innovation with its product portfolio & Work-life balance is given a top priority...Read More

Dislikes

Garmin India is very unlike Garmin USA. India works under Taiwan & they treat Indians from 3rd world countries. The HR policies don’t exist in India. Some of the following:- 1) No reimbursement - like Mobile bills, parking bills & when traveling to other cities only INR 500/- is given to take care of the food. Only after a lot of follow-up, the travel approvals are granted. 2) No tea & coffee available in the office for employees. We buy tea for our own money or get it from the office. 3) There is no concept of Appraisal, management in Taiwan decides what they have to give it in India; they just give the appraisal without even consulting with us. While they’re taking a decision for us they don’t even consider what is the GDP or average increase by other companies. 4) In order to increase sales the company doesn’t invest in marketing and keeps on pressurizing the Indian sales and marketing team to do bigger numbers and to sell more. When we ask about the marketing investments they simply say no and put blame on us, and say “we are not doing the job well and they take some time to decide it” 5) Employee Skill development - There is no skill development for the employee, no annual meet-up & no international travel to understand the best practices from other countries. 6) Garmin India is operating in India for the last 12 years but it's still not a P&L. Garmin India doesn’t import products directly, it's through the importer/distributor which is a big drawback. But TWN management doesn’t want to change it....Read More
