Pros
The pay is decent considering that you really don't need a college degree to work here.
The holiday schedule is pretty good.
Bonus has been decent.Cons
In-depth engineering and analysis seems to be lacking with little time allowed to come up with innovative new designs.
Every program is pushed so hard for time and capital that engineers are forced to spend little time coming up with new ideas and more time copying old designs.
Quality has also taken a back seat as quality engineers seem to have been forced to become little more then shipping advocates.
All you really need are some decent Proe, and SAP skills, advanced degrees aren't worth much here.
No Deere locations are that great.Advice to Senior Management
Innovation takes time and money! Unless Deere invests in both it is going to allow itself to be surpassed by other manufacturers.
Promote based on performance!
