The Five Core Values — Integrity, Quality, Humanity, Commitment, Innovation

John Deere has five explicit core values: Integrity, Quality, Humanity, Commitment, and Innovation. Humanity was added in 2024 — the first values change in years — based on direct feedback from employee engagement surveys. Every Deere behavioral interview is implicitly mapped to these values, and candidates who can prepare a STAR story for each one consistently outperform candidates who treat the interview as a generic Q&A.
