STA Quality Engineer Interview Experience - Dearborn, Michigan
Process
Very professional application and interview process.
I was contacted via email regarding being selected to attend a Talent Management Conference.
There was some preparation required for the conference.
The conference was very professionally managed, with opening remarks given by a Ford Senior Manager, refreshments served, interviews with two Ford Managers, and a lunch provided with Q&A available with two other Ford Quality Managers.
I was very impressed with the caliber of all of the Ford employees involved in the conference - very professional and accommodating.

Ford Work Experiences
- 4.0Overall positive experience working at FordPowertrain Engineering • Current EmployeeDearborn, Michigan, United StatesFebruary 5, 2015Pros: I enjoy the teamwork, technical challenges, and fast-paced environment at Ford. Additionally, it's nice to work at a company that fosters real engineering work instead of being bogged down with paperwork.Cons: Corporate politics, job location in Dearborn, and a relatively flat management structure with little room for upward mobility beyond the supervisor position.
- 2.0Good technical experience, but poor culture and lack of prioritiesEngineer • Former EmployeeDearborn, Michigan, United StatesDecember 19, 2013Pros: Good technical experience. Figuring out what the root cause of a problem was (this was around 2001) was a good experience. The FCG program was also a good experience.Cons: Management would not keep their promises. Deadweight people. Lack of priorities for the overall company. Other engineers and management like to blame the union workers for all quality problems, but they don't complain when they get all those vacation days. (I was not on the line or in the union.)
- 1.0Good Intentions, Chaotic ChangesIntegration Supervisor • Current EmployeeDearborn, Michigan, United StatesSeptember 1, 2022Pros: Ford tries to embody good discipline and treat people well.Cons: Ford changes directions, organization, and processes every ten minutes. It's difficult to succeed in an environment that does not trust each other or have time to trust each other.
