Pros

Interesting people, complex problems in a fascinating industry

Cons

Where to start? -RTO has been absolutely bungled. Not enough room for people, nowhere to sit, often people are going into the office to sit alone in a conference room and take video calls they could have just done from home -Strategy is rated frequently as a low-performing division, as is Corp Dev. Pressure from the top is translating to frequent cuts. They are culling good people to try to show they are "making progress" -No real development pipeline to exit corp dev/partnerships/strategy. Nobody in Ford wants to take these people as transfers. This is where people go to rot for the rest of their careers. Many people are trying to frantically exit this division and few are getting any internal traction. -new MBA tuition program is a joke. Basically nonexistent

Pros

- Base Salary very good with adequate bonus - Retirement benefits excellent - Some very good managers

Cons

- LL4 and higher can be very authoritarian and detached at the same time - Reorgs cause very highly skilled people to be in roles that don't maximize their strengths. - Promotion likelihood internally very low - Consistent collaboration with India causes both cultural issues in collaboration + communication together with needing to be awake at awkward hours to cross-collaborate effectively.
