You better stay out of Logitech
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good products.
Salaries slightly over the market range. Though today a high pay is just not enough anymore to be considered as a top employer.
Good modern offices.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Crazy micromanagement, everything is pushed top down, no collaboration just control, no space for work-life balance, not competent management team, no respect for employees.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Review current management practices at all levels.
Investigate and launch change initiatives to reduce fluctuation rate. Critically review business trip and expenses policy.
Aim to improve work-life balance of your employees. Grant 25 paid days off to the Swiss employees, allow unpaid leaves.
Remove variable salary component from non-Sales functions.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Toxic atmosphere, extremely chaotic, short-term planning in everything, completely unorganized and unstructured.
Kommunikation
No process structure at all. Every department and manager or team decides on its own how and when to communicate. Normal practice is to set a meeting/call for everything on a recurring basis without checking the availability of your audience. "Simple" employees get constantly overbooked and get 3-4 different call invitations at the same time. At least 50% of such regular calls could be easily cancelled.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Direct colleagues are friendly and collaborative. There's though a very high fluctuation rate, this doesn't help to build relationships with the colleagues.
Work-Life-Balance
It is expected that you live for work, that you're willing to live on a road, to travel non stop, also out of business hours, to answer emails being on holidays, basically to work 24/7. Overtime is not compensated and is considered to be a "normal part of your job".
In Switzerland you get the minimum number of holidays guaranteed by law (20 days) and you can not take unpaid leave.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Extreme constant micro management, really bad.
Your manager might be asking your colleagues behind your back about what time you come and when you leave, checking with whom you chose to sit during a business dinner and questioning your competence in deciding yourself which meetings to attend and which to skip, just making a few examples.
Most managers lack in professionalism and lack in respect to the employees.
Gleichberechtigung
There're several company layers (Country, Europe, Global, Board) and everyone from the layer over to yours thinks to have power to impose things and processes to you. So lower levels (Country) are the last ones in the chain to handle all the pressure from top levels without any possibility to push back or argue. It is a "Control" model, not collaboration.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There're basically no older colleagues left. There's a tremendous fluctuation rate in this company. Colleagues who stay longer than 1 year in the company are considered "experienced".
Arbeitsbedingungen
Modern offices and equipment.
Possibility to use Logitech products at work.
Basically hybrid working is not seen positive, employees are asked to work from the office, though the company is promoting externally products for hybrid working.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Unnecessary business trips at all levels, travel expenses are "welcome", employees are asked to travel to the office as often as possible (also by car).
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salaries are often over the average.
Salary levels are not transparent and there's a big salary gap depending on your level in the company.
A big variable % in the salary depending on the reach of quarterly target sales turnover in the country (normally 20%) also in not-Sales functions.
There're several good corporate contributions (health insurance, gym, etc).
Image
Great innovative products and an image of a modern brand. However this doesn't get reflected in the corporate culture and management practices.
