Good pay and benefits, poor to average management and organization.
Pros
Above average pay and benefits, with plenty of holidays. Some talented people scattered around. Interesting projects to work on if you have an interest in farming, or a farming background. Company is trying to move to more modern software development methods (SCRUM). Near the Iowa State University campus if you're interested in a college sports and/or atmosphere.
Cons
The company has a pure agriculture focus, so company financials follow the farm market very closely. And, release cycles are linked strongly to farm activities with not much schedule flexibility. It's great that the software group is trying to move to a more modern development processes, but it keeps reorganizing and expanding scope by pulling in other groups. Trying to be everything to everyone? The engineering departments are walled gardens with poor communication between them making it a challenging maze to follow if you need information from other groups.
