Pros

Opportunity for learning and development. Pays well with good benefits. Max out your 401k! Good place to start a career (Just do yourself a favor and keep your own metrics and quantifiables).

Cons

Top-down leadership priorities overruled the autonomy of our Agile teams. Rather than focusing on user experience, teams often were stuck in the back-end code for months on end despite user pain-points that needed to be addressed. Since John May was made CEO, I've felt the company move from being one where everyone felt valued into one where everyone is worrying about job security. As with most tech right now, the strategy seems to be laying off the workers in the USA and offshoring for cheaper labor where possible.

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.
