Pros

Has a great reputation within the finance realm. Most employees generally try to do the right thing and want the company to do well ... very supportive of coworkers and willing to help/offer ideas. Definitely not a cut-throat environment.

Cons

Very little control over where you work and what you are doing. Opportunities for advancement occur behind closed doors without open communication. Inefficient systems and processes balloon in size while number of employees and staffed functions dwindle. Typical older, larger company issues ... lots of history (has always been done this way) with marked differences in perspective. Company does not value any work experience gained outside of Ford (i.e.: 10+ years external experience with MBA on same level as entry level BBA with no work experience since same time at Ford is put in). Too much manual, mind-numbing work and reliance on Excel.

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.
