Pros
Very ethical company that has a lot of pride and tradition behind its products. There is a lot of employee pride in the Deere brand and it is a great feeling to be part of a strong team. The company is committed to developing employees (lots of career training and learning opportunities). Most people are very down to earth and friendly. Very competitive pay and in the recent past, nice bonuses. Deere is a very good place to start your career and work your way up, especially if you make connections with people who are willing to help you advance in the corporation.
Cons
Very difficult for mid career hires to have valuable career advancement opportunities. Deere is set up for advancement from the ground up not from mid career on. There is also a very strong culture of silence, sticking to tradition, relying on past strengths. So, if you are looking for fast paced changes and a place to express a lot of creativity, this is not the culture for you. In my opinion everyone at Deere gets along well and are very similar to one another. This can be a good thing if you fit in, but more challenging if you do not fit the mold.
