Pros

Ford is a great place to work for good work-life balance. There is also a high level of diversity amongst employees, and people from all different cultures work here. Most people are friendly and welcoming. Everyone makes you feel like you're welcome and wanted, even if its fake at times.

Cons

There's way too much red tape in the process. The company is full of bureaucracy. The worst problem is that higher management does not know what it is doing. Every 1-2 years, there tends to be a new mantra for higher management. Everyone moves in that direction, then two years later, its gone - discarded - kaput! Then, a new manager comes in; with a new mantra. There's a lot of "waste" (i.e. TPS muda) in every process.

Pros

You get to say you work at Ford Motor Company

Cons

The only way they'll view you as a longterm investment is if they got you young right out of school- as an FCG or from CCS. They reward backstabbing and gossiping in the name of "survival of the fittest." They enable and encourage people like this to rot the company from the inside out. The people who are rewarded are those who can best cater to the emotionally unstable people in positions of leadership. They can't even lead- they either micromanage, or are passive aggressive in hopes that you can eventually read their minds. Neither is productive. Micromanaging wears away at anyone's agency and confidence. And passive aggressiveness doesn't move projects forward nor provide clarity. Take the time and energy you spend gossiping about the lost employee, and just communicate to them directly. That would yield faster results, and reduces stress for everyone involved in the long run. I don't understand managers who will gossip to anyone and everyone about you, but then claim they don't have time to talk to you directly and resolve issues.
