Nepotism at its finest - Manufacturing Engineer John Deere Employee Review

Nepotism plays a big role in filling job roles. Value experience far more than education. Manager’s opinions are emphasized higher than your own experience when applying. Turnover is high from employees becoming burnt out from wearing more than one hat. Gaslight employees into doing work out of your scope to get higher performance ratings. No accountability for bad managers, so people quiet quit for better managers. If you don’t fit into the toxic work culture, you will stand out. Even though they have DEI and safe space trainings, you are not valued if you go against the grain. Very hard to collaborate with arrogant one track minded engineers who never had to compromise. Operations runs very poorly and is the biggest inefficiency of the business while they shrink capital for new equipment. Only some managers knew how to manage people while most were incompetent and were milquetoast puppets.
