Pros

Quality coworkers, excellent tradition, very high standards. If you like getting up early, going home later and working hard then you will love Deere - truly. It's hard work but you get a good sense of accomplishment.

Cons

The work is very demanding and Deere expects a lot from you. Pay doesn't always reflect your effort. If you are looking for a nice job with a relaxed atmosphere then look somewhere else. Working at Deere can be intense at times.

Cons

Poor communications, low diversity, not open to change and new ideas, resting on past successes, demographically challenged (many employees have high benefits and don't choose to retire), two tier employee system, poor health benefits, ridiculous policies (office-space inspections, limit on personal items in workspace), new, poor relocation benefit policy in place, no childcare arrangements or assistance, cost cutting affecting future product quality, low morale, employees leaving for many reasons - no motivation to stay long term as company removed health benefits in retirement.
