Pros

Great schedule, amazing coworkers, opportunities abound (if you can separate yourself from the cliques) on the right teams.

Cons

The leadership on the HR side of Deere is shocking. No rules, values, or guidance is followed on their end. If they step out of line, not an eye batted. If it’s you, look out. Multiple meetings held explaining that if you are not a black, LGBTQIA+ person, you should not even be given an interview. Deere no longer wants to hire the best in their fields, they want to hire what looks good on paper.

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.
