Pros

* Working in the Coopersburg area, Lutron starts your salary decently high COL wise * Lutron does a lot of college recruiting, so lots of younger engineers * Very easy to make friends at Lutron through external activities like volleyball, soccer, grill outs, etc. * Direct supervisors seem to work very hard to promote their new engineers * You will definitely be assigned challenging projects and designs earlier on * Lutron will allow you to expense career and education growth opportunities including graduate school (you will still need to work full time though) * (Just for Coopersburg hires) Lehigh Valley is awesome and very close to other larger cities for easy weekend trips

Cons

* Sticks to the 8-5 work culture * Promotions appear to be time based rather than skill or merit based * Business Casual enforced for Software Engineers * Upper management is anti remote work * Does not significantly adjust scale pay based on COL of the area (Engineers in Coopersburg make only slightly less than their equivalents in a high COL area like Boston) * Management makes it very hard to resolve tech debt * Heavy dependency on external contractors which has made some of the older code difficult to manage * Very bad Maternity leave and practically non-existent Paternity leave

Pros

High salary, good people, made a lot of friends

Cons

Too many empty promises and lies (“you can switch to a new discipline if you’re interested in it”, “we never fire anyone”). Resistant to change, which is visible in the antiquated office, lack of diversity (less than 10% woman in engineering, maybe 1 black person), and maternity leave policy.
