I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Logitech (Cork) in Apr 2024
Interview
I got an email about organizing an initial HR call. Then I was interviewed with a hiring manager on Friday. They sent me a take home test to do during the weekend and to be submitted by Sunday morning. |-_-|
They never replied back after submission. On inquiring, they took three weeks to evaluate my take home test and provided a very positive feedback, then went on silent again. Later, inquiring the HR sent an email as below, I coudn't understand Logitech's approach when they actually love my implementation and then they said there were gaps in my attemp. Probably they just sent a generic email.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We will use the results of this assignment to gauge your ability to organise and
deliver a technical solution.
We’re looking for code that is clean, readable, performant, and maintainable.
Requirements
Write an application which can parse the logi.bin file and extract all the messages
including their sequence number. Please focus on presenting this data clearly and
effectively.
Data
The attached binary file, logi.bin contains n messages. There are no incomplete
messages. Each message has the following packet structure:
PAYLOAD_HEADER (4 BYTES LE) SEQUENCE_NUMBER (4 BYTES LE) MESSAGE (STRING)
● The first 4 bytes represent the payload header as an Int32 (little endian) and
its value denotes the size of the message.
● The next 4 bytes represent the message sequence number. Again this is an
Int32 (little endian)
● The next n bytes represent the massage itself. The message is a string and its
size is defined in the aforementioned payload header.
Interview process not transparent, total four round, initial screening, technical interview, technical assessment, manager round.
Technical discussion if you are apply senior position but junior guy take interview as per their knowledge and report to senior person then they reject, I feel they need to improve interview panels as per potion open.

Question 1
Open the laptop and search online programs question randomly and give to us to solve so you can’t predict which questions will come, depends on junior knowledge
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Logitech (Newark, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
A deliberately confused situation. They wanted a video interview but I was unable to provide video. When I showed up, they seemingly became disenchanted by my race or skin color. They invented complaints to express dissatisfaction that I had not come prepared e.g. with a presentation of some type when they hadn't bother to request it! And they were angry that I expected the job was software engineering when in fact that was what the job was described to me as being! Beware employers seeking video interviews they are ALWAYS seeking to discriminate by race or age or religion.

Question 1
Did you bring the presentation that we did not ask you to bring?
We take these comments very seriously. Please contact me directly, so that I may investigate your experience interviewing at Logitech. lduthie@logitech.com.
Thank you.
