Talking as a C++/ QT resource 1: To create visibility, you need to do a lot more than just your regular work. Like Contributing in different initiatives, Participating in Hackathons like events 2: Only 1 or 2 QT resource in a team compared to 10 controller side resources. Hence, QT resource is most of the time overloaded with work. 3: Some internal politics related to work assignment

Company's work culture is really good. I like the work culture John Deere has. Company's policies for different aspects are also good. Policies are employee oriented. Job security is there if you work as per the company's compliances and deliver the output which is supposed to be delivered by you.

Dislikes

Career growth is very poor. The compensation & benefits are less in comparison with other companies.

Likes

Good salary compared to other core companies for traditional departments. Global exposure. Usually supportive management in terms of learning/upskilling. Can choose your career interests. Lot of opportunities to learn and implement your ideas.

Dislikes

Compensations years behind for advanced departments. People skills >>>> technical skills in eyes of management. You can get ahead with mediocre technical skills but not with people skills. Emphasis on 'people activities'. Almost 30% of your time is spent on repetitive updates to management, arbitrary metrics calculation, presentations and video editing. Many Yes Men and Women. Compulsory participation in 'fun activities'.
