Current Employee – been working at John Deere full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The company has been very profitable for more than a decade. The products and brand are well-respected... I can travel anywhere with my John Deere shirt and people always are fond of the brand. The software organizations keep up with the most recent management processes, which can be a pro and a con.

Cons – The company is large, however, the groups working on products can be small given the diversified products. This translates into some small company politics alongside the big company politics. The software organizations have grown into mediocrity and reward high-performers less.

Advice to Senior Management – Cherish the high performers or else they will leave. Warm bodies will not pay the bills.

Pros – I've been with the company 15 years and am so grateful for the experience I've had. Among the pros are a competitive salary, continous training and educational opportunities, employee satisfaction given the most weight in many organizational decisions, managers genuinely care about a positive work/life balance for staff.

Cons – If you are not a farmer's daughter and haven't worked in one of the equipment divisions, hiring managers outside your own area will give you little time or consideration.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in educating employees about the various divisions and customer segments.
