Pros

Ford has good opportunities for a new engineer out of college. Product Development is binge hiring right now, it seems. After being here for an internship and full-time for 1.5 years, I went from a very timid student to a confident engineer. I've learned so much more real-life problem-solving skills that school cannot teach. Ford is a large company with many opportunities to move laterally and up. Ford is very good with work-life balance and respects it. They encourage further education and offer training.

Cons

Lots of management layers can be frustrating and can hinder productivity. Buildings and facilities are outdated (furniture, layout); however, getting better with updating technology. Ford is stuck in old processes, creating a not-very-professional atmosphere.
