Pros

You will read many reviews about how the people are great. There is no doubt that they are and that they genuinely care for one another. The company takes their customers very seriously and it’s great to see how committed they are. The health benefits are extraordinary. You will not find better health plans around. It’s also what keeps people from leaving for something better.

Cons

The company is unwilling to bend regarding “culture”. Almost all external leadership hires leave (or are asked to) because the culture and the way work gets done is that inflexible. They do not operate internally like other companies do and external hires struggle to figure out how to be successful. There is a strong boy’s club, those judging your performance are highly subjective (as much as they say they’re not), and there is a lack of courage at the leadership level to stop allowing the loudest, most intimidating or most political voice in the room to get their way. Case in point: the nepotism in HR that keeps everyone walking on eggshells and the deception at the very top from 2021. Because the company runs way too lean and won’t change from that, many are overworked. People are really tired and aren’t given the resources and support they need. They have to jump through hoops for it and even then, if it isn’t presented in the right way, you could get eviscerated. And judged mightily for it. Also - to those reading this, there are ways of boosting the ratings on Glassdoor by a company. Lutron is well aware of that.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
