Pros

Ford is a great place to work for good work-life balance. There is also a high level of diversity amongst employees, and people from all different cultures work here. Most people are friendly and welcoming. Everyone makes you feel like you're welcome and wanted, even if its fake at times.

Cons

There's way too much red tape in the process. The company is full of bureaucracy. The worst problem is that higher management does not know what it is doing. Every 1-2 years, there tends to be a new mantra for higher management. Everyone moves in that direction, then two years later, its gone - discarded - kaput! Then, a new manager comes in; with a new mantra. There's a lot of "waste" (i.e. TPS muda) in every process.

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.
