Pros

Flexibility to dedicate a portion of time for free thinking and research.

Flexible hours.

Pay is OK.

Cons

Research and advancement is becoming just advancement at Ford. Getting a promotion is very hard. It is not a good place to progress for young engineers. It works for 'loud,' show-off people with connections much better (I guess this is the case for all big companies).

Advice to Management

Too much pressure to make sure research projects will lead to products results in short-sighted decision-making.
