Pros

It is a company with a big history. Everybody knows and talks about Ford Motor Company and its performance. It is interesting to have an inside point of view and specially to work with the company in its efforts to become profitable once again

Cons

Sometimes people is not very optimistic about the company perfomance and that can be frustrating

Pros

Best place to learn how big companies are changing to survive the challenges of globalization. Good people who are tough, supportive and eager to see their company survive the global auto wars, on top.

Cons

Culture is a complex mix of fear, pride and insider dealings. Attempts to build trust are just that, the old axiom of actions speak louder than words would apply.

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.
