"DEERE me!"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at John Deere full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Great company that is challenging and rewarding. Does have good benefits and good work environment. Great company to work for most of the time.
Cons
Typical work locations are in remote or less developed areas of the US, I.e. not located by or in large cities. Leadership is many times promoted too fast and can create issues for those with experience but not recognized for their capability.
Advice to Management
Be sure to continue to coach the leadership that the people are the greatest asset the company has and not treat them like a rental car when they are progressing through their stops up the corporate ladder.

Pros
Great company pays very well excellent bonus
Cons
Very long hours do the work of 2 people If you are a mid-career hire they are reluctant to accept ideas that you have seen work well at other companies. Was told my previous experience was worthless.
Advice to Management
Promote on abilities and accomplishments instead of networking

I have been working at John Deere full-time
Pros
High emphasis on engineering innovation and development.
Cons
Strict top down management style stifles individual contribution. Managers and product leads don't share achievements and recognition with development teams, thereby stifling employee contribution and personal stake in the products.
Advice to Management
Look out for and listen to employees from every level and not just managers and product owners.
