Pros

Pay is good, some upper-level managers can be helpful in your success.

Cons

Lack of support from management (despite new process coach training), entitled union employees unwilling to work for you, Hours worked in a day will vary each and every day so don't make set plans. Badge in through a gate, work in an environment with few windows, hardly any clocks, and horrible office spaces to complete desk work. My coworkers used to compare the environment to a prison, and yet Ford wonders why they can't keep any new process coaches. I was a prideful, legacy Ford employee with 3 years in the company and took great pride in my job, just to be thrown out after working as hard as I could to improve moral, and hold UAW workers accountable for their faults. Always remember salary workers are never protected, and union employees can get away with whatever they want. Not to mention, per the new UAW negotiatons you'll be managing 10-15 employees on the weekend who are making more money than you at time and half or double time.

Pros

Moving to in-house more software, opportunities for mentorship and connection with higher-up employees, high visibility projects

Cons

As is common throughout the auto industry at this time - the corporate priorities change frequently resulting in reorgs, changing projects, and unclear long-term vision.

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.
