John Deere has lost its way on the technical front - Senior Software Engineer John Deere Employee Review

First and foremost, if you're a mid-tier technical person simply avoid this place. You will stagnate as there is very little incentive to grow. Several non-technical people make technical choices that conflict with realistic expectations.

Don't expect to be promoted and expect a 1-3% annual raise regardless of output.
