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

Decent salary and benefits for the area.

Cons

Nepotism plays a big role in filling job roles. Value experience far more than education. Manager’s opinions are emphasized higher than your own experience when applying. Turnover is high from employees becoming burnt out from wearing more than one hat. Gaslight employees into doing work out of your scope to get higher performance ratings. No accountability for bad managers, so people quiet quit for better managers. If you don’t fit into the toxic work culture, you will stand out. Even though they have DEI and safe space trainings, you are not valued if you go against the grain. Very hard to collaborate with arrogant one track minded engineers who never had to compromise. Operations runs very poorly and is the biggest inefficiency of the business while they shrink capital for new equipment. Only some managers knew how to manage people while most were incompetent and were milquetoast puppets.

Pros

World class co-workers who are very passionate about what they do.

Cons

Executive management doesn't realize the people who work there don't have to. They don't realize that their labor force is their advantage.
