Pros

Compensation and benefits; many online learning opportunities

Cons

As a 20+ year employee, I have seen many changes in company culture. Until approximately three years ago employees were treated with dignity and respect. Their was a familial feel to the working environment. With recent major reorgs and an IT digital and Agile transformation, employees have been left hanging in limbo wondering if their jobs will continue to exist. This has created a culture of fear and distrust and if an employee is not engaged in office politics or is not a member of particular "cliques" they are often overlooked. Instead, underqualified or unqualified employees who are engaged in these are given these jobs instead. My opinion is that Deere is no longer a premier place to work unless you are a recent college grad.

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.
