Pros

Great group of people who are passionate about designing a better vehicle for the customer.

The group that I work in are very, very good at what they do and are always willing to help out if you are struggling with something.

It's also great to be part of a great company at Ford. The corporate culture encourages employees of different departments to work together. I won't deny there has been friction when working with other departments, but compared to working at other automotive companies, this place is better.

The benefits are also great as well.

Ford is investing not only in new facilities but also hiring new engineers.

I also like a casual working environment. Ford is fine with you wearing jeans and a polo to work; they suggest this if you are meeting with suppliers. Ford also encourages its employees to telecommute once a week, typically Friday, but it isn't required.

Cons

Unless you live in Dearborn, the commute to work is pretty bad. Traffic on Southfield (M39) or 94 is pretty bad.

I wish there were better cafeteria options for food. Usually, you have to go out to eat if you don't pack. However, one of the best Thai restaurants in the Metro Detroit area is 10 minutes from Ford's campus.

Parking can be an issue if you work at EVB.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work!
