Good internship environment, lackluster pay for the Bay Area (GFL)
Good internship environment, lackluster pay for the Bay Area (GFL)
Good choice of project. Good mentorship. Paid for transit and supplemented lunch.
Low pay for a Bay Area internship at $26.60 an hour.
Lack of structure may be difficult for people who prefer more direction.
Good progress has been made on adapting to the requirements of being a company in Silicon Valley, but Ford is quite far behind the curve. Only recently have they begun to consider Software Developers as a separate role from IT.
Salary is not competitive with other Bay Area companies. Both of these things need to change if Ford wants to attract top talent; there's no way around it.
Ford is also currently quite top-heavy. There are instances of managers managing one other manager.
