Lutron Electronics Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I'm still going through the interview process with Lutron. I've been to the facility three times and they've assured me they want me to build a career with them. They've been very promising, saying they're impressed but need to find the perfect starting position. It's been six weeks since I first contacted them. I met a recruiter at a career fair on a Saturday, they called Tuesday to schedule an interview for that Thursday where I spoke with four people. Early the next week, they called to schedule another interview for the following Friday with three more people. The week after that, they said they were preparing a job offer and would follow up. A week and a half later, they asked me to come back for another interview the next day for a different job role. I interviewed with six more people; most were friendly and engaging, but one was very quiet. When he asked if I had questions, I asked about his role to tailor my questions, which seemed to surprise him. The last person I spoke to indicated there would likely be at least one more interview. Overall, it's been a great experience. The only challenges were getting time off work, the waiting period for callbacks, and understanding what role they were interviewing me for. The people are friendly and enthusiastic, and the facility is impressive and clean. The company seems to really care about its employees, as evidenced by them providing water coolers during a plumbing issue and changing coffee vendors based on feedback. Employees have mentioned they expect to move around within the company to gain experience in different roles, which helps everyone understand how departments interact and appreciate others' work. They seem invested in long, successful careers for their employees.

I applied in early January and was told I wasn't qualified for the initial role, but they referred me to a different opening. There were two phone screens, which were pretty standard. Then HR contacted me about interviewing for two positions. After a 10-week wait, they scheduled an interview for one of them. The interview itself was challenging but positive, with a good connection with the hiring manager and team. The following week, I was told I was moving forward and uploaded transcripts and references. Weeks passed with HR being unresponsive, giving generic replies when I followed up. Six weeks after the interview, I was offered a position, but it wasn't the one I interviewed for. The second interview for the other job never happened, and that position was filled without me. I accepted the third position as it seemed like a good opportunity. I was asked to upload transcripts again, even though I had done so earlier. Another six weeks went by with no news about this new position. In total, it's been 21 weeks since applying and about three months since the interview. I've since accepted an offer elsewhere. HR needs significant improvement in organization and communication; they seemed unaware of what was happening internally and should remember they're also interacting with potential customers.

I'm currently a student, in my last semester last December, when Lutron reached out for a phone interview. Honestly, I was swamped with final exam prep, and it really wasn't the best timing. I didn't really get ready for the interview (though I did well academically, not sure if that was the right call). In the end, they didn't offer me the job. All the questions were behavioral. I can still recall some of them:
