Pros

Sesame seed bagels for employee appreciation day were good but stale and no cream cheese.

Cons

This company has a pattern of lying and being deceitful to its employees. Tow small companies were purchased by Leviton with the intention of running them as separate companies under one roof. We were told that during a meeting. Employees and temps were taken to the new facility for a tour. I helped organize the tour for my group. Employees and temps were assured that everyone will be moved to the new location in the same job along with their manager. Business as usual. Two months later when the move was made those promises were broken. By the way, our employee appreciation day was celebrated with sesame seed bagels. Employees had to buy the cream cheese and drinks. Stay away. Lots of problems.

Pros

First off, the work isn't about developing boring business applications or something of the like. It's about software that tells Leviton products to DO stuff. It's a metaphysical link from the software to the real world. Seeing a state change in the UI followed by a physical device reacting is VERY satisfying (to me at least). I love the work we do because it's geared towards making peoples lives easier. Secondly, the community at our workplace is incredibly friendly and open. You can always reach out to anyone if you're stuck on an issue, and there's rarely any fire-chasing going on. And Lastly, the management at the NOLA location are seasoned engineers. I think this is what makes our engineering department great, instead of just "good enough." They usually understand what kind of effort and time it will take to make a product, which has led to less fire-chasing (as stated earlier).

Cons

Some of our other business units will occasionally reach out to us for some sort of "contract" work, which is usually deadline-driven. The deadlines they set almost always inaccurately estimate the development time of the product they wish to make. Luckily, this does not happen all that often and only a select few BU's have this mentality.

Pros

Great company to work for that has a really bright future ahead of it due to its recent success in the rapidly growing industry of IoT and Smart Home Technology. At Leviton (Nola) there is an excellent opportunity for potential growth not just in skills but in position, and the management is very supportive. Overall, a great work environment with friendly people, good benefits, and plenty of perks.

Cons

Due to the rapid growth of Leviton (Nola) and the IoT Industry as a whole, there has been a strain on engineering resources so there's no lack of work day-to-day and you rarely find a dull moment. On the flip side, this gives each engineer a sense of real importance and great potential to grow.
