Pros
Job security 401k matching 300% for first 5% Good autonomy
Cons
Deere had 2 reorganizations within a year, roughly 15% of the department's engineers resigned, due to placement after reorg, ambiguity of responsibilities, realizing there is very little possibility for career advancement within the department, or poor recognition/compensation. This lead to even more severe workloads for those left Less than thrilling location There are no promotions awarded in Deere, to move pay grades, you must interview and get an offer. The yearly performance review dictates your raise, and varies wildly between departments and therefore yearly raise. An entry level engineer can expect to be in the exact same position 5 years later, unless they transfer to a different department with Sr engineer openings.
