Pros

Benefits, base pay, bonus (if they have a good year). Somewhat safe job and stable industry if you are direct employee with Deere. Good people to work with.

Cons

1. Absolutely no career growth, if you are are not in the good ole boy network. Promotions only for folks within the network. Even if you have years of experience you will not be considered. 2. Not exactly a technological leader in the field, always is second or third in engine engineering. 3. No feedback sought about your immediate supervisor. Even if you give a negative feedback will mostly only fall on deaf years. Company comment to employees " Deal with it" 4. provides good lip service to employees on career path and nothing happens.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
