I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (Dearborn, MI) in July 2011
Interview
Screening interview with a Finance supevisor and then initial interview with a supervisor & Director (2:1) to present a finance case on capital budgeting. The interviewers also asked several behavioral questions. I was later invited to Ford management Talent Conference, which was all paid for including food and hotel. In the conference, I went through a one hour behavioral interview (2:1), then a group interview, lunch and learn session and finally technical interview. In the group interview, 5-6 finance candidates presented a case and worked together to come up with one recommendation. In the technical interview, I had to present another case which was a further twist from the last case.

Question 1
What will you do if manager of a division has consistently been running over budget.
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 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 Then, a week later, they called to say the role’s “requirements changed” and the offer was no longer valid.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.
