Principal Software Architect Interview Experience

August 1, 2024

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Ford makes you take a written test, but it seemed mostly like a bureaucratic process rather than actually making it more welcoming, even for experienced professionals. Once you take the test, you don't hear back unless you poke them. The reason for the written test may be good, but the way it is handled is very poor.

Not a very great work environment

Design and Release Engineer • Current Employee

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Pros: Decent pay. Good amount of projects to work on. Some helpful coworkers.

Cons: Red tape, unmotivated people, and a lot of dead weight. Managers who are nice but are usually yes-men. Work is quite diluted because of the number of people involved. People are great at pushing responsibilities onto others. No clear and defined target on any project. It's a moving goalpost.
