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.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at John Deere full-time for more than 10 years
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.

Current Employee – been working at John Deere full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Work for an All-American company
- Believe in what you do every day that you walk into work (feed, clothe, and shelter the world's population)
- Enjoy a fantastic work-life balance
- Travel globally to work on projects
Cons – - The locations aren't for everyone, but they're great for the right type of people.
- If you are looking for a company that operates at a breakneck pace, you are better off looking in Silicon Valley. Change and decision making happens a little more slowly here.
