Pros

resume builder, good networking opportunities within the firm, comprehensive benefits, long term opportunities might be possible.

Cons

The cultures are, in my experience, distinct, in the various divisions of the firm. A personality well suited for one division might have more of a challenge elsewhere. So.. to climb in the organization- it might be best to choose the right division initially. My thinking: working in Moline, IL might be limiting if one wanted to leave John Deere for outside opportunities. If I were debating this great firm and good opportunity versus another great firm and another good opportunity... I might chose the one where 'my firm' is not THE firm in the city. When it is time to move on, it is nice to have other opportunities in are same locale. My role was not in Moline- I declined an opportunity to move for this reason though.

Pros

Fun work, interesting problems to solve, good people in the office. Good 401k match.

Cons

Deere corporate doesn't care about it's employees. No promotions, tiny raises. No equity. Bad health insurance. Some people get promoted but only if you are good at kissing a** it seems.
