Pros

Competitive Pay and Good Benefits for the locations that Deere is in. Mostly a good culture

Cons

I've been a part of 3 major salaried employee buyouts in 10 years. Every minor downturn, a re-org comes out which displaces many people. Hires too many people when things are good and then overcompensates and gets rid of too many people when things get bad. If you are employed here, you might as well buy stock in the company because satisfying shareholders is the only thing that matters. Employees are not valued, regardless of your performance and tenure.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
