Ford

Pair programming is implemented. Kitchen staff was always nice. The good tech people help you out with getting up to speed at times. Some teams have a good amount of work to keep you busy. There's a food club. There's a gym in the basement. You get to test your code on some of the latest devices. Daily standup happens every day at 9 AM.

Their staff is just like their cars: UNRELIABLE.

Their car batteries die in testing regularly, before the cars even get released. :) :) :)

How this happens still baffles me.

Everyone uses RXJava to complicate the simplest of tasks. 1+1 doesn't equal 2 at this company; it needs 50 observables, 8 completables, 16 polling calls to their backend, and a useless third-party company like Arian.

Lazy Indians all over the company. You know what that means...

Funniest thing is, Ford/Lincoln staff don't even buy Ford/Lincoln cars. Hence why their quality is so poor; nobody cares.

Architects are dinosaurs, have no knowledge of modern practices.

They force you to attend their events and force you to pay for their meals at those events. Trust me, "no" isn't an answer that would suffice with cheap, persistent people.

Some people at Ford would do anything to be included in any inner circle. (They have no character or morals.) Learn to mind your business.

Usual office gossip and politics, just in different languages.

The number of useless meetings you attend as an engineer is exponential.

You have to work with people who have the worst hygiene on Earth!!!!!!!!

(I should have been more serious with my Tesla application.)

Listen to your employees.

Allow your staff their privacy and stop trying to interfere in their personal lives. I don't need you planning my holiday activities or personal activities.

Stop hiring every Indian that you meet.

Stop forcing people to attend boring meetings and making them pay for their meals. You're a major conglomerate and you still can't pay for meals????

Also, if you hire consultants, they aren't your slaves. Outline their duties and don't make them train overpaid, lazy Indians.

If you retain bad staff and bad management, your company would inevitably be bad.

If you fire all your QA and tell developers to become QA, your app would get worse. (Common logic).

Stop hiring rude security guards.
