Pros

Paychecks still come, unlimited PTO

Cons

Everything. There is literally end to end incompetence across every side of business, support, engineering, product, ops, etc. The business has zero clue what they are doing. They are shoving larges amount of money into projects that customers don't want while simultaneously killing ones they do. The leadership on the engineering side felt no pain from the re-orgs a year ago and have somehow just got worse because while their job titles might have changed so now they just fight for relevancy. Every single process is broken, drawn out, problematic, and filled with zero-trust policies. The result is a workplace that makes it almost impossible to work, yet the expectations of employees has risen. There are lots of people who are trying to seem important because in reality they add zero value. They provide "value" by putting up roadblocks that only they can remove. You get stuck in a system that wants you to move 100mph but you can only move 5mph. You watch competitors, cheaper systems, new businesses, and your friends who leave for far better jobs pass you by. We are basically watching the Titanic sink slowly and a few people are fighting each other for a life boat. I think there could be a book worth of content for how poor AGCO has ran this business and even then it wouldn't be visceral enough to describe the state of things.

Pros

Unlimited PTO. Everyone abuses it- you should to.

Cons

No roadmap. Not a tech company. Code is old, fragile, written considerably by over seas contractors and unmaintainable. Management is 15+ years aged on an island of building autosteer - over and over again. Innovation is not something you'll find here, you'll just port 40 year old code from one language to another- and one display to another. You'll report to a product person who will report to a dude that used to be a engineer 35 years ago, who enjoyed speghetti C++, and thinks everything should be as easy to build as their 3 button display from the 90s that went EOL before you were born. Pay was cut by several thousands (10s of thousands) of dollars on the transition- and only received 1% merit increases while inflation raged to over 9%- my personal purchasing power has dropped by over 25% from when we were trimble owned
