Pros

- Great 401k match - pretty good work life balance - ethical company - tries hard to do the right thing - great brand recognition

Cons

- recent restructuring broke trust with employees. Expect more white color layoffs in the future - A key to the CEOs strategy is keeping costs low. Cost cutting is largely focused on cost of labor. This means that it’s now much much harder to progress financially - recent strategy changes make managerial experience much more difficult. They want fewer middle managers and each manager is expected to manager more team members. -DEI initiatives strongly favor women and POC for advancement opportunities. I would caution against joining Deere if you’re a white male as these policies will make career progression nearly impossible.

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.
