Pros

As Ford IT support is a function for the manufacturing company, there was always a lot of budget for new projects. Good the opportunity to learn very complex IT Infra projects end to end. Opportunity to jump into any domain of job within Ford is an exceptional feature no other company offers. For example, if you are in IT all your life and you want to move to Finance or Manufacturing, that is possible in Ford. Besides twice a year hike is awesome!

Cons

Century-old processes, regional domination and extremely lethargic workforce. No governance model for promotions and extreme paper type culture and not today's generation type of workplace.

Pros

You get to say you work at Ford Motor Company

Cons

The only way they'll view you as a longterm investment is if they got you young right out of school- as an FCG or from CCS. They reward backstabbing and gossiping in the name of "survival of the fittest." They enable and encourage people like this to rot the company from the inside out. The people who are rewarded are those who can best cater to the emotionally unstable people in positions of leadership. They can't even lead- they either micromanage, or are passive aggressive in hopes that you can eventually read their minds. Neither is productive. Micromanaging wears away at anyone's agency and confidence. And passive aggressiveness doesn't move projects forward nor provide clarity. Take the time and energy you spend gossiping about the lost employee, and just communicate to them directly. That would yield faster results, and reduces stress for everyone involved in the long run. I don't understand managers who will gossip to anyone and everyone about you, but then claim they don't have time to talk to you directly and resolve issues.
