Pros

Lutron is a thriving company, with a large range of products. There are plenty of new projects at a time, with opportunities for meaningful input and design. The location in the Lehigh Valley keeps housing within a reasonable commuting distance. The benefits are great, especially medical. Most everyone is friendly, and willing to show you what they are working on, and the direction new products are going.

Cons

Lutron has a fairly tight information culture. Many things are not to be spoken about. People often work long hous. Customer communication is tightly controlled, and many times documentation is incomplete or missing. Lutron tends to be very conservative when planning IT upgrades.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
