Pros

Lutron way of running the work space are like no other, Their improvement process is always interesting and always fun to be part of, they attack each problem with a u8nique improvement process and makes problem solving a great fun. Lutron university allows employees to gain more skills and does indeed offers many very interesting courses in many subjects, from electronics to communications. Lutron will often move employees around and assign them to other projects, teams or titles, it can be a little scary at first but ends up being quite fun as you are never ever bored with what you do and always have a change to learn new things and work with different people.

Cons

Lutron loves to change, and changes are part of who they are as a work space, after a while you learn to accept those changes and not be bothered by them, but often changes are not communicated very well, there are a lot of whisperings and rumors going around but information don't come down from upper management until way after everyone was feeling scared and unsecured, which is a pity because some of those employees end up helping the change process a lot more by being involved and motivated by it. Also though Lutron claims to be aware of the work/life balance, often that balance is placed aside when they need you to work overtime or even weekends.

Pros

Most are quality people. Communication on peer level is great. Technical support was provided when asked. Some basics in sales, but no training, rather an opportunity to do all by yourself to learn. Overall is a good company to start your career, but don't stay for too long. Otherwise you will become as rigid as the whole structure. Do your best, learn important things and move on. 2-3 yrs would do.

Cons

If you want to learn how to make good money in sales your stop by here should be very short. No commission for sales (pure salary), sales targets (in my case) were far above what was possible in the market. Strategy was really Achilles heel. The markets in Europe have been neglected for years. Company is losing the ground there to local competition. Poor or no customer support. When it comes to renovation, the customer has forgotten the company. Neglect is a killer of repeat business. Very sad to have seen this lots of times. The company looks like and acts like the empire in its final stage of decay... unless miracle happens. And yes, a bunch of good and strong people in the field of sales still somehow compensate the strategic shortsightedness of top management.
