Pros

* The John Deere values - Integrity, Quality, Commitment, and Innovation. * Process-oriented company. * Financially sound. * Overall, good, balanced, humble people to work with.

Cons

Senior Management has been doing a good job of making sure they are living up to the John Deere values. But Middle Management is lacking. Efforts are being made to make the company an "inclusive" company to attract, develop, and retain the best talent. Some parts of the company are making progress; other parts of the company are still entrenched in the "Old Boys Network".

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.
