Pros

The development program is a great way to get experience with multiple teams. It is organized well. My teammates have always been kind and work/life balance has not been an issue.

Cons

Everything feels dated - including corporate's sudden command to return to office. Upper management seems to not care for flexibility in where you work, with their recent actions giving me a feeling of pressure and control rather than focus and togetherness as they'd probably like you to believe.

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.
