Easy Job, Bureaucratic Meetings
Easy Job, Bureaucratic Meetings
Good people to work with in PVT. Good and easy job once you get the hang of everything. Flexible hours if needed, and the team is generally very helpful. You do get the chance to modify designs, suggest improvements, and figure out solutions to problems. Pay is decent; paid OT (1.5x) for agency folks.
Quality meetings are a waste of time. Responses to issues are usually empty and have no meaning or consequence.
Assignments often seem trivial when you already know the outcome to your proposal will be no, but you have to do it anyway.
The production team will call on you often to help with their own self-induced issues/problems.
Being local PVT, there is no upward movement unless you join the production team (yikes) or move to Dearborn for a product development job.
You'll get the hang of PVT in a few years and then be bored, or realize there isn't anything left for you to do at that level.
No paid OT for salaried people unless over 50 hours.
Streamline the quality meeting. You never follow the same cadence, and it's a general waste of people's time.
There has to be a better way of reporting out quality issues.
Less contractors/agency people.
Don't string people along saying you can/want to hire them and then don't, even after they continue to overachieve and meet targets.
Pay salaried folks for OT they put in. Stop expecting people to give 10+ hours per day before you pay OT.

Ford Interview Experiences
Pvt Engineer
One phone interview with the would-be boss and a local supervisor. Passed that and then was invited to an in-plant interview where I met the team I would be working with and toured the plant. Accepted the offer shortly after.
Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op

Product Development
The interview was one round, in-person. I met the recruiter at a career fair and had to complete two online assessments (one math, one reading comprehension, and one workplace ethics). The next day, I was interviewed at the career fair. All of the
