Pros

Pay if you are in the right rural area then this could be your only choice, otherwise nothing positive to say from an IT/IS standpoint.

Cons

Management propaganda about working for the company is amateur and suffocating. Inundated with news letters, team building meetings by underqualified leaders and lack of a concise direction with regards to moving the company forward into the next decade. The company is extremely cyclical due to Ag division running the company, even though Senior leadership denies it thus producing often changing direction. This promotes high levels of job frustration as you are forced to plan out in a years advance goals that you would like to accomplish, which in turn is directly tied to your merit increases. Success at your daily work is a moving target due to changes in leadership direction. Through the looking glass makes John Deere appear as a stable and satisfying environment to work in.

Pros

Fun work, interesting problems to solve, good people in the office. Good 401k match.

Cons

Deere corporate doesn't care about it's employees. No promotions, tiny raises. No equity. Bad health insurance. Some people get promoted but only if you are good at kissing a** it seems.
