John Deere is a fantastic company to work with, lot of intelligent people around, Extensive data from past engineers to learn about products, fantastic documentation process

Climbing the corporate ladder is difficult, career advancements are typically when someone retires or when someone leaves the team, Workload varies from team to team, some team may go for extended periods without producing much, while others may be intensely working form months

It has a very comfortable and rotten work environment, everyone is friendly and welcoming. Recent layoffs has exposed how mismanagement has rotten the decision making system and the cracks in the new CEOs abilities.

Dislikes

Very slow paced environment, no accountability on managers, slow growth, even well deserving candidates will get promotion after a minimum duration of 5 years in one level. GETs get preference for every opportunity even if they don't know anything.

If you are part of team, where modernization of products is happening then its really good opportunity to learn. Technical architects are their to suggest newer architectural designs.

Dislikes

Favoritism. Few managers favors some members within his team based on personal interests/relations. Due to that appraisals/promotions are given to his favorites rather than who is deserving or talented. Internal networking is more important of deere culture than technical knowledge depth of employee.

Work life balance Learning, As we have access to acloudguru, plularsight and other sites as well.

Dislikes

Layoffs after introducing nee core value Humanity. They are firing employees immediately(within 30 minute we need to leave office after receiving call from HR) which is not good. They should be transparent and give few months before firing. They don’t analyse requirements before adopting new technology(Recently we have purchased Palantir Live stream licence but don’t analyse whether it will work for requirements or not). Work is not that much challenging. Decision Making from upper management No Promotion and less salary hikes No appreciation for work...Read More

Managers are very supportive. Fairly positive environment for working.

Dislikes

Supervisors are utterly unreliable and untrustworthy. They actively work against you if you show competence, collaborating with associates and ATs to undermine your efforts. They blatantly reject your projects and hand them over to ATs, making the environment toxic and demoralizing. Their behavior is not just unprofessional but outright hostile.

let's decode how to get promoted: make connections with influential manager, bring sweets just for no reasons and keep dropping the mail to the whole department, keep discussing how to buy cars or which is best apartment to buy with managers; work? No need not to work, for that you should have the skill to harress external employeeswho are working under you. NOTE : Please note smart people are rarely promoted, you have to be dumb first before performing the above activity....Read More

Dislikes

Bad leadership especially in the software validation department If you are high performer & you don't have the ability to sugar coat you would not be promoted; your promotion would be given to wives/chatukars/beautiful girls who are working in the same department. There is a typical pattern for promotion: go to onsite, come back and get promoted as senior lead enginner. If you have a working wife in the same department, she will resign from India, will join as an external employee in John Deere usa on spouse visa, will come back to India and would join the same department on promotion. If you still feel that the thrill is less, you can join software validation department and experience the same. Best of luck 🤞...Read More
