Pros

Has a great reputation within the finance realm. Most employees generally try to do the right thing and want the company to do well ... very supportive of coworkers and willing to help/offer ideas. Definitely not a cut-throat environment.

Cons

Very little control over where you work and what you are doing. Opportunities for advancement occur behind closed doors without open communication. Inefficient systems and processes balloon in size while number of employees and staffed functions dwindle. Typical older, larger company issues ... lots of history (has always been done this way) with marked differences in perspective. Company does not value any work experience gained outside of Ford (i.e.: 10+ years external experience with MBA on same level as entry level BBA with no work experience since same time at Ford is put in). Too much manual, mind-numbing work and reliance on Excel.

Pros

Pretty easy job, low stress, good work life balance, nice people. If you just want a place where you can maintain a stable career, with decent pay, and a good work life balance, you could do much worse than Ford.

Cons

Terrible leadership decisions. ADAS got wrecked over the past 2 years. Most of the talented engineers that I knew have moved on. Part was intentional attrition via return to office mandates and the rest was just the fact that the talented folks who could easily get new jobs got frustrated enough to leave. If you're interested in deep technical work related to autonomy, robotics, ADAS, etc - Ford is not the place you want to be. All of the interesting work has been moved to Latitude, Ford ADAS is mostly just supplier management now.
