John Deere – “Great place.”
Pros
Company you can be proud of. Solid Pay and opportunities. Challanging work and a multitude of different areas of business you can work in. Senior Management is pushing the company in the right direction and they continue to remain strong in a troubled economy. Most employees are friendly and generally want to see eachother do well. Not a cut throat environment. Diversified business's allow me to feel safe in working at Deere no matter what an individual business is doing.
Cons
Sometimes hard to understand why people are getting promoted. Also the company tends to not deal with poor performers well.
Advice to Senior Management
Make sure there are clear tracks to promotions.
