Pros

Great top management. Willingness of improvement from top management. Transparence and share information, great team effort, cross function team and matrix report. Structured will to get things done with support people who love the company so much.

Cons

Midle management are not quite compentent as top managment. Too many levels, if eliminate 10 of those levels and make a flat managment organization, it will have great future for Ford to come back as the great company to work for as 10 yrs ago. Too many bad apples gangster in the midle managment to move things effectively. Revolution move to cut those non-values will save this old company to slip further.

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

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.
