Advice to Senior Management

Raise the salary, then Ford can hire more good engineers and make the whole team be more experience.

A very diverse company to work for. Continuously bringing good performance cars in the market. In the last economic downturn Ford managed to survive without taking any tax payer money. That says a lot about the company.

Too large of a company and it takes too long to flow information down. It has the downside of any large company with the bureaucracy.

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

great colleagues, competent and capable, moral

Cons

toxic management practices...HR Policy is little more than "lip service" to what matters. Behavior when it counts is non-existent.

Advice to Senior Management

Have the courage/character to practice what you preach....values are demonstrated not by words, but by behaviors - and the willingness to make tough, values-based decisions ... defending toxic leaders at the risk of poisoning the organizational culture is NOT CLEVER; it's BAD BUSINESS! ... it's not complicated!

Pros

great opportunity to see how all aspects of the design and manufacturing of a vehicle come together to deliver the finished product

Cons

development of the individual even in the presence of major accomplishments is lacking unless you are considered on the fast-track within the company

Advice to Senior Management

I would look at the development of all employees vs the specified development of those you consider on the fast track

Pros

Pay, benefits, Union job (hourly), good hours, opportunity for extra money in the form of overtime, good coworkers

old, dirty factory, sometimes dangerous
