Pros

Great top management. Willingness of improvement from top management. Transparence and share information, great team effort, cross function team and matrix report. Structured will to get things done with support people who love the company so much.

Cons

Midle management are not quite compentent as top managment. Too many levels, if eliminate 10 of those levels and make a flat managment organization, it will have great future for Ford to come back as the great company to work for as 10 yrs ago. Too many bad apples gangster in the midle managment to move things effectively. Revolution move to cut those non-values will save this old company to slip further.

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.
