Ford

Good name recognition.

If in the right place at the right time, some opportunities to develop and move around.

Good benefits.

Pay can be good.

Work/life balance can be terrible.

Career development and training [are] not good.

Performance review process is bad. It is largely a disincentive to putting extra effort in, even if you are often at the top. I have worked for Fortune 500 companies; their HR policies and programs are often not good.

Auto industry is cyclical, so expect significant cutbacks in the lean times.

Can be very hard to move around (though against company policy, you can be blocked, even for promotions; HR doesn't help).

Focus on the core competencies of designing and building excellent vehicles, and the profits will follow. Too much time is spent within Ford on non-value-added work (at least from the perspective of bringing value to the customer).
