Previously Good Culture, Underwhelming Pay
Previously Good Culture, Underwhelming Pay
-
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.

Applied through career fair. First, had an online assessment, and then an interview which was basically behavioral and situational. Second interview was situational and technical, with questions surrounding projects and coding exercises.
