Lack of Leadership, Ethics, among other things

Pros

Good place to learn and develop yourself (only if you're starting out)

Cons

Bad pay and well below market regardless of how you start within the company. Meritocracy simply does not exist in this place. Culture is very hostile, competitive and "slave trade". Certain people who have been in the company for years have an internal monopoly and get rid of employees easily and unjustifiably after exploiting them and paying them low wages to protect themselves and their private interests. Many employees who are not happy at the moment with the lack of leadership within the upper management circle. You will have to put up with bureaucracy and intellectual corruption, and they will try to call this "teamwork" despite the fact that members within the same teams constantly shoot each other down. Very little gratitude for the work that one has to do for other people. As mentioned in previous comments, it is a work environment where manipulation thrives and for reasons external to the business (interpersonal relationships and other interests), and for this reason, they have "leaders" who do not have knowledge of the processes, do not have the professional training (NCEES engineering exams that should be a minimum requirement) to have the positions they have. Very thin line between lack of business ethics and hierarchy. Or perhaps both of these go in-hand at Lutron?

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
