      RFA at John Deere Intelligent Solutions Grouo

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There were a lot of really cool projects to work on at this location. The salary was pretty good for the area too, and some positions allowed for a lot of overtime. (I would say, for those working around 40 hours a week, you'd make close to but slightly less than their counterparts directly employed by John Deere. However, some people whose roles allowed them to work a lot of overtime were making more than their John Deere "direct" counterparts. Hours worked overtime can also be converted into time off, which can be really attractive for some people.

      Cons

      The benefits are a bit weak. That being said, starting at RFA and then becoming a John Deere direct hire after about 2 years was a common route for people who wanted better benefits, and is a lot easier than jumping through the John Deere HR system hoops from outside.

      Thank you for your review! I appreciate you pointing out that we do pay a bonus (in time or cash) for time worked above the standard 40 hours for which FT salaries are based. It can really be a game changer! While we never like to see anyone go, we do recognize that we can be a very reasonable conduit for getting hired direct to our customers. Unlike some of our competitors, we will never make anyone sign a document limiting their ability to get hired direct.

      Ok

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ok place to get a start in an industry/company if you’re coming out of school and can’t find much luck at the big name brands. Also a more relaxed place to pick up some extra consulting work after a retirement.

      Cons

      You can do better working directly for whatever employer you’re contracting under if they’re a big name like CAT or Deere. There will probably be days you have to make up or be forced to take time off when the customer company has a holiday that RFA doesn’t recognize. You’re given notice ahead of time to plan but it is what it is, a headache. If you’re interviewing for a position here definitely ask to have them explain this alignment between RFA and customer calendars/policies a bit more. It’s the number one thing people complain about, especially around the end of year. It’s understandable they have to balance the needs of many customers, but it is what it is, a bit of an annoyance.

      Great company for young and passionate engineers

      Pros

      Flexible with good pay and high quality internal management. Great opportunity to get a foot in the door with larger manufacturers and grow professional skills.

      Cons

      The benefits aren't phenomenal. They do have health insurance(with HSA and comany match contribution), dental, vision, and 401k. But they don't have paid maternity/paternity leave
