Interview process was extremely long and drawn out, with three rounds of interviewing. The final interview was two hours long in person - with three separate groups simultaneously. The whole process took four months to complete.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company in Mar 2024
Interview
- Applied online
- 1 month later reached out to by recruiter and had a phone screening. The recruiter barely tried and just passed me along (which was good I guess, but barely gave any insight to the role/company/etc)
- 3 rounds of interviews
The interviewers were fine. Didn't get the offer but it was the first time I ever received an automated rejection e-mail rather than being told by the recruiter. Felt very impersonal especially after having taken the time to go through multiple interview rounds. One of the worst recruiter experiences I've had.
I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (Long Beach, CA)
Interview
The interview process was behavioral at first, and then in the next round, it was case-heavy. I would highly recommend brushing up on accounting and financial concepts in a way that helps you with answering any of those weird, ambiguous "testing how you think" kind of questions. The process lasted almost 1.5 months.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (Long Beach, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
After two rounds of interviews, I received a verbal offer from Ford. We had already discussed salary, start date, and other details — everything pointed toward a confirmed hire. Then, a week later, they called to say the role’s “requirements changed” and the offer was no longer valid.
This kind of reversal is unprofessional and disheartening. Candidates invest serious time and trust in these processes, and extending a verbal offer without follow-through is unacceptable. If the company wasn’t ready to commit, they shouldn’t have moved to that stage.
Ford has missed out on someone who’s smart, driven, and doesn’t give up. Unfortunately, they’ll never know it. While I wish the best to others who apply, I can’t see myself accepting any future offer from Ford after this experience.
