Pros
None, I haven't seen any.
Cons
John Deere is overall a good company, but the Construction and Forestry (C&F) division has one of the most racist cultures among Deere's divisions. I have worked for other divisions and they are not even comparable with the C&F division. Since Deere's main core business is in the agriculture industry and as they don't have a good market standpoint in the construction industry, the working environment here is completely different. They are struggling to have a strong profit share and would put all the pressure for beating the competition in the construction industry (with leading companies like CAT, CNH, Volvo, etc.) on young engineers. They think they are the best in the world and would say this every day to new hires and make them feel they are working for the best company in the world. If you want to work here be prepared for a harsh and unprofessional work environment. You would feel like you are stuck in a jail (both in work and location). 1. Lack of diversity 2. No work/life balance 3. Micromanagement is a favorite attitude for managers in here 4. Location is horrible (especially if you are non-white American) 5. Gossips flying all around the company 6. Unreasonable deadlines for projects 7. Discrimination based on your skin color 8. No career growth (you have to stay here for maybe a decade to get a promotion) 9. Threat for being terminated from management 10. HR is not any help to the employees at all 11. Very very old school 12. Lack of investment in employees (They can be very cheap and greedy in training and travels)
