John Deere reviews

- Leadership at the director level is lost - Lots of micromanagement from directors - Constant reorgs are the norm - Getting anything significant done takes significantly longer than it would at a real tech company - Because it is impossible to get fired there is no shortage of disruptive individuals - Lots of gossiping and backstabbing even at the director level - Communication between departments is non-existent - Very stingy with money resulting in not having the best hardware/software or company events unless you work outside the USA - IT is a joke can take months to get software and hardware you need to do your job - IT Security is extremely strict which also limits software options as well as eating up resources on your machine for real-time virus scanning - While still an industry leader Deere no longer innovates, instead they take a reactive approach - No consistency in year end reviews every manager follows their own criteria resulting in confusion and frustration

Bad Management - middle management has really changed - for the worse. managers are all about themselves and making themselves look better to upper management - stepping on the lower ranks to get there. I was a manager and as they say - stuff rolls down hill - oh boy does it! Ag dealers are getting to big and they are not supporting the customer the Deere way - or the old Deere way - keep losing them and Kubota will keep growing.
