Pros

Great work life balance. Great opportunities for growth. Managers genuinely care about their employees. Leader in their industry. Team enviornment.

Cons

John May is a terrible CEO. Slow pace of development. Locations are absolutely terrible. A few new offices have appeared for specific IT roles in Chicago and Austin, but otherwise you're most likely in Iowa. There is not a lot of ethnic diversity at facilities in the US.

Business Outlook

Pros

Training was adequately provided for employees and the Moline/Davenport area was acceptable.

Cons

The culture within John Deere is toxic, leading to a very poor employee experience. If you are looking for a short-term experience to gain specific knowledge, this could be a viable option. However, if you are looking for a company to stay with for 3+ years, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. Please note - The outward rhetoric from John Deere is excellent but the actual day-to-day employee experience does not align.
