Pros

My core team was decent to work with.

Cons

A lot to list. I was asked to carry out unethical tasks, I was a manager reporting to someone at the same level (HR said this couldn't be fixed). Our building had mold. I had zero management support for a huge engineering issue. I resigned because I was marked down on my PR for something not on my objectives. Management is not taught how to manage people and are very biased towards certain types of people. Being a high performer only got me more work. I did all of the things possible to get promoted and did not receive any feedback on applications I sent in. I had a chief engineer tell me "I do not care about the customer, I only care about cost.".

Pros

You get to say you work at Ford Motor Company

Cons

The only way they'll view you as a longterm investment is if they got you young right out of school- as an FCG or from CCS. They reward backstabbing and gossiping in the name of "survival of the fittest." They enable and encourage people like this to rot the company from the inside out. The people who are rewarded are those who can best cater to the emotionally unstable people in positions of leadership. They can't even lead- they either micromanage, or are passive aggressive in hopes that you can eventually read their minds. Neither is productive. Micromanaging wears away at anyone's agency and confidence. And passive aggressiveness doesn't move projects forward nor provide clarity. Take the time and energy you spend gossiping about the lost employee, and just communicate to them directly. That would yield faster results, and reduces stress for everyone involved in the long run. I don't understand managers who will gossip to anyone and everyone about you, but then claim they don't have time to talk to you directly and resolve issues.
