John Deere Reviews

Pros

Great culture, great people, great pay

Cons

None, none, none, none, none

Pros

Decent salary and benefits for the area.

Cons

Nepotism plays a big role in filling job roles. Value experience far more than education. Manager’s opinions are emphasized higher than your own experience when applying. Turnover is high from employees becoming burnt out from wearing more than one hat. Gaslight employees into doing work out of your scope to get higher performance ratings. No accountability for bad managers, so people quiet quit for better managers. If you don’t fit into the toxic work culture, you will stand out. Even though they have DEI and safe space trainings, you are not valued if you go against the grain. Very hard to collaborate with arrogant one track minded engineers who never had to compromise. Operations runs very poorly and is the biggest inefficiency of the business while they shrink capital for new equipment. Only some managers knew how to manage people while most were incompetent and were milquetoast puppets.

Cons

Management is poor. Service department has it's favorites. Poor pay, and unrealistic goals. Only place I have ever worked, were a technician is punished for lack of company training.

Pros

401k benefit is great (10% for 6% match), most of the time the people you work with are genuine, work flexibility, and working for a global market leader. Great company to have on your resume especially right now...my advice if you work there apply out while you can. Best part of leaving is you finally see how the company. My advice to new hires. Take advantage of the loop holes in the STAR interview process. Switch platforms for each promotion every 18 months you'll be SG8 in 3.5 years post EDP. Without actually contributing anything of value for 12-16 months of the 3.5 years.

Cons

If you love meetings to plan meetings this is your place! The amount of wasted engineering time in meetings is comical with the amount of busy work reports/ tracking middle management requires. Camouflaged micro-management Other reviews summed it up perfectly...pay becomes stagnant and the rave amongst "woke" management is diversity so good luck if your a white, Indian, or eastern asian male in engineering looking to further your career. Middle management is just a bunch of "yes men/ women" but that's corporate America. Brown nose until you make it.
