Pros

The pay is generally excellent

Cons

The communications from leadership have always been universally terrible - vague and a lack of direction are usually the other of the day. This summer they told us there would be layoffs over the next two months, so we will all be spending the summer wondering if we will still have jobs at the end of it. John May has been a disaster for employee morale and productivity.

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.
