Ford Motor Company interview questions

Drug Test at facility after the General Information Tests that they score you on. It was all based on the tests given and not you as a person. I was referred so the process was quite easy.

This was for D-Ford, the human-centered design division of Ford. Before the actual interview, I had a few phone calls and emails with the recruiter, who cannot be named due to Glassdoor's policy. The calls went very well, and it seemed evident that I would likely be a good fit for the company. More than once, she verbally said that there would likely be an offer on the table before the end of the month. The actual interview was pretty straightforward. I was asked to show my previous work in a slide deck, much like many other interviews at other companies. The people interviewing me were very nice and friendly, and they seemed to appreciate my work. I felt that the interview went great. After the interview, the recruiter told me the team wanted to move forward with a second interview, and said she would be in touch to schedule it. She mentioned that the team was thinking of offering me a junior position, which I said would be fine. In the meantime, she asked me to fill out a questionnaire regarding my previous work experience. She never sent me one. In fact, that's the last time I ever heard from her. Repeated phone calls, emails, and messages went completely ignored over the next couple of weeks. I knew she was still at the company, since I saw her regularly posting new job listings on LinkedIn. She just decided to completely ghost me in particular for whatever reason. Several weeks later, I received an automated email from Ford indicating that the role had been "canceled". The name at the bottom of the no-reply email was her's. Convenient. I later got in touch with someone I knew higher up at the company, and he indicated that he had no idea what had happened. He was very disappointed in the turn of events. The recruiter's total neglect and complete lack of professionalism had cost me the job. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether or not I would have gotten an offer, but her repeatedly leading me on to believe I would and then completely dropping me was super unprofessional. I would have appreciated a flat rejection way more. Maybe it was for the best. Several months later, I landed a job where I now make twice as much as I would have with D-Ford. Yes, twice as much. I have nothing against anyone else at the company, by the way. Everyone else I met and interacted with was super nice, and if it wasn't for her behavior, this would still be a dream place for me to work. It just takes one bad apple to leave a bad taste. Update: I just looked her up on LinkedIn and found out she got laid off. So this whole review is probably irrelevant to potential candidates. Whatever the case, karma seems to be doing its thing.
