Ford

• Work with awesome people every day.

• Encouraged to learn and grow.

• Remote work accessible.

• Good 401k match/contributions.

• Slow salary progression that trails inflation.

• It was just revealed that the recent EV business would have an exclusive college graduate (FCG) program. This limits opportunities and exposure for newcomers.

• The stock award program is available to very few employees; even fewer receive it.

• Ford wants to compete with top-tier software companies, but pay falls short (even in comparison to other Detroit automakers).

• The vehicle discount is negligible.

• Some old mindsets slow down software development.

Make compensation more competitive, plain and simple.

Don’t solo Model E from the rest of Ford.

Improve vehicle discounts so employees can drive the vehicles we support.

Make yearly raises more impactful.

If these aspects don’t change, I can definitely see talent opting for more enticing offers from the likes of GM, Tesla, Rivian, etc. Admittedly, Ford trails the pack.
