Pros

Finally embraced work from home due to covid-19, really hard to get fired from Deere

Cons

Too many office politics. They just went through a massive re-org and in the financial division it was literally like picking kick ball teams. Several people got promoted that are unqualified for the job, but their manager is their friend so their manager talked them up to other managers. A lot of great employees were left behind, and now resent the company. Leadership has really declined, this is not the time to join John Deere Financial.

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.
