Pros

I was given a lot of responsibility and was well compensated right out of college. I stayed for 9 years due to the great friendships I made.

Cons

Mentors were overwhelmed, so I didn't have a lot of guidance at first. This will vary from one area to another. Being a self-starter keeps you from getting in a bind. If you are competent, you'll find that they really rely on you to "save the day." It's fun to be the hero at first, but eventually, it became standard practice and I left.

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.
