Logitech Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Logitech full-time

Pros – Work environment, benefits, collaborative atmosphere from a global perspective.

Cons – HQ/Western Region relationship has historically been contentious, adversarial.

Advice to Senior Management – Be quicker to recognize the writing on the wall about dying categories. Focus less on churning out new iterations of mice/keyboards and more on game-changing mobile/audio products/services. Already starting to see moves in the right direction (finally got rid of Quindlen), but probably a bit too late.

Current Employee – been working at Logitech full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great company culture and overall environment. Got lots of opportunities to suggest and pursue projects, management is very flexible and progressive.

Cons – Less aggressive in terms of business drive, need to onboard and attract smarter talent for pushing the limits even further. Salary should be somewhat higher than presently offerred.

Former Employee – worked at Logitech full-time for less than a year

Pros – Pays well, relaxed company culture knows how to have fun, good amount of time off. Logitech excels in its core categories (mice, keyboards), it is just a shame that poor management is keeping it from truly innovating in other areas.

Cons – Management is slow to make decisions which negatively impacts business. The company has made some bad bets and under-funded and promoted certain categories which it is now trying to sell off. Not sure how much longer the company can rely on selling mice and keyboards when we are now living in a touchscreen world.

Advice to Senior Management – Empower your working level people to make more decisions and react to changes in the market faster.

Former Employee – worked at Logitech full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Logitech has some of the most exciting computer peripheral products. The degree to which product quality is validated is worthy of mentioning. Company feels like a mini United Nations in many ways and has a very unique model of internal and outsourced production.

Cons – This is a classic case of finding own worst enemy in themselves. The internal politics and regional (Europe vs US vs Asia) clashes took down what could have been a great company. Very unfortunate.

Advice to Senior Management – There are some great minds in engineering and marketing but unless the silo mentality and internal politics can be resolved, Logitech will not be able to rise to the challenge of a diminishing market.

Current Employee – been working at Logitech full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great health benefits and lots of flexibility for a good work/life balance.

Cons – Logitech is not sure what they want to be now that momentum has shifted to mobile and tablet use more so than PC. The bread and butter that was mice and keyboards is evaporating and Logitech cast a broad net over many opportunities, but spread itself too thin to really invest in growth areas. New CEO is attempting to turn the behemoth of a company (which is not appropriate for it's actual size) around.

Lots of red tape, lots and lots of beaurocracy and no accountability.

All in all, Logitech is VERY old school.

Advice to Senior Management – Drive accountability down through the organization and better develop your talent.
