Pros

It has already been said that the best thing about Lutron is the people. Regardless of your discipline, you will make close friends here, and you will have ample opportunity to grow your core skill set. For those who want to hit the ground running, Lutron is a great place to start a career - as the company relies heavily on new-hires to make key technical decisions in the company. Lutron rewards achievement, though you'll need to be willing to stand-up for yourself and be your own champion.

Cons

While new employees get ample opportunities to make real contributions, they also bear the brunt of insufficient upper management. Short-term strategies mean that work / life balance doesn't often factor into the equation -- crises flow down hill, and the company isn't shy about asking for copious uncompensated overtime from exempt employees. Lutron could be so much more than it is, and could attract and hold great talent if the atmosphere were less stressed and less repressed. Upper management could stand up for themselves and their employees -- but unfortunately it isn't the culture, and isn't likely to change before the regime. Anything and everything is subject to change at a moment's notice at managements' whim, often causing redundant effort and wasted time on "black hole" pet projects. Viable new ideas, visions, and strategies often get overlooked due to paranoia and a CYA approach that stems from trickle-down fear of the top management tier.

Pros

-The company offers excellent healthcare benefits—which may come in handy given the toll this job can take on your physical and mental well-being. -The starting salary is competitive, which may initially seem attractive, but it does not make up for the workplace challenges. -You will have the opportunity to interact with some highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals outside of your department.

Cons

-Leadership consists of inexperienced and underqualified individuals, leading to poor decision-making and lack of direction. -Rampant favoritism and nepotism create an unfair work environment where promotions and opportunities are not based on merit. -The company is stuck in outdated practices from the 1960s. Modern workplace expectations have evolved, and without change, attracting and retaining top talent will continue to be a challenge. -They preach flexibility, but in reality, taking advantage of it leads to judgment and negative consequences. -There is little to no loyalty to long-term employees, making tenure feel meaningless. -Gossip and unprofessional behavior are widespread, creating a toxic work culture. -Employees often find themselves walking on eggshells due to constant scrutiny and behind-the-scenes discussions about them. -The lack of diversity is deeply concerning, and little effort is made to foster an inclusive workplace.
