Good for retirement - Systems Analyst John Deere Employee Review

The team is made up of mostly good people, and the work itself can be rewarding at times. The 401(k) match is one of the strongest benefits offered and has been a major reason many older employees choose to stay with the company.

For most, base pay tends to fall lower than the market, with minimal annual raises or merit increases — averaging around 1.5% over the past three years. Promotions have become fairly uncommon in recent years, and when positions are vacated, they are often downgraded or left unfilled. When promotions do happen, the typical 5–8% pay increase mostly serves to offset inflation after years of below-market raises. In addition to the lower compensation and increased workload from unfilled positions, many performance metrics are focused more on company initiatives than on the employee’s actual role or day-to-day responsibilities.
