Vantaggi
Engineers are typically given challenging projects; peers and managers are intelligent and professional. You will learn, grow, be challenged, and have plenty to do. Employees are given respect for their abilities; great products to work on, opportunities to move into sales or recruiting even if you are hired as an engineer; they look for people who are smart but also well-rounded. You are encouraged if not required to help with the interviewing process which is a ton of fun; co-workers will often go out of their way to help and teach you. Fun after work activities like softball, rock climbing, basketball, etc. Great location and place to live. Grocery store, places to eat are very close by. Easy commute. Lehigh Valley is a great place to live.
Svantaggi
Pressure to stay late is consistent but not required; an 8-5 day would be close to the minimum. 8-5:30 or even 8-6 is closer to the norm. A common trend was to show up late and leave late which was annoying for someone like me who enjoys daylight activities. Vacation time is below average; no official flex hours; timelines and deadlines seem deliberately unrealistic to apply pressure to work longer hours. Professionalism is sometimes taken to the extreme. For example, non-work related discussions, like "how was your weekend?", "how are the kids?" can be non-existent. Lutron expects you to work hard and to go above and beyond for them. They take pride in keeping you out of your comfort zone so that you grow as a person. This can be fun, challenging, and rewarding, but it can wear you down. It can be difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance and have career advancement. Local job market is limited if you choose to leave.
