AGCO reviews

Senior leadership either doesn't know or doesn't care about what really is going on in their function. No clear career paths - only a select group of individuals advance. Company operates as several small companies- none are aligned. Many projects - not enough resources to complete.

There is no sense of community within the division. Besides a summer company picnic, a holiday "party" (just mediocre catered food in the break room), and a weight loss challenge, there isn't really anything that encourages employees to interact with each other. Division is seen as a step-child to corporate and is treated as such. Business is completely dependent on the weather and sales forecasts are not adjusted for weather conditions; growth is measured monthly instead of looking at the long term (year long) growth. This leads to budget cuts during slow months to help meet numbers, but then excessive spending during good months. Employment seems to be a revolving door -- both with resignations and layoffs due to financials during bad months. VP position seems to be a temporary until promoted to a corporate position with 3 VP's in 4 years. The organization is also extremely out of touch with it's end users. A lot of money is spent on product development without actually talking to the end user to see how they feel and what they want.
