Ford

There are lots of different career paths within the company. Paternity leave is awesome. If you are someone who works like crazy, you will fit right in here.

The company seems to be led by business majors focused on cost-cutting. They are not innovative auto enthusiasts who value quality, innovation, and reputation.

They put a lot of pressure on base-level engineers to make ends meet without providing enough resources to get the job done, leading to 60-hour weeks.

There is poor workload management throughout the company, with many late changes. The culture is to just put your nose to the grindstone and not get behind on product timing. They are not sympathetic to people wanting to work a standard 40-hour week.

Also, there was a random vaccine requirement that didn't make sense to me. Luckily, I moved on prior.

They are also working like crazy on DEI initiatives.

Put customer experience higher in the priority list and work on employee retention.

Probably need to shake up the management structure and replace 10% of level 6 and up.
