Risk adverse and culture of no decision making
Manager (Current Employee) - Field Based - 25 October 2020
Generally a good level of debate and interaction with senior management however the culture is so risk adverse that no one will really make a decision so while someone can get on with that culture be prepared to have your experience and qualities in general ignored. The process driven procedures work if everyone knows what the process is ....
Pros
None
Cons
Short notice period no security

Jobs at Ford Motor Company
nice canteen grub
IPAF Operator (Former Employee) - Dagenham - 15 August 2020
Enjoyed the few weeks spent there.
Good secirity setup and procedures.
Long treck from main road bus stop to actually get to the factory floor; no staff shuttle bus; got drenched by rain many a time, in spite of having an open umbrella. Wind blew rain against me from all directions.
Pros
Lunches were never free; and as a casual worker for a sub contractor, meals were not subsidised, so paid full price per item per meal.
Cons
No shuttle bus, and this a motor manufacturer.

A bit too reliant on Agile
IEF Developer, DB2 DBA, COBOL/DB2 Programmer (Former Employee) - Dunton Campus - 13 August 2020
FCE know what they are doing and how to get there. However they lack certain business knowledge within some IT teams and believe that adopting Agile technology will help them understand how to design robust business systems. Design decisions have been made based on little business knowledge. This may well backfire at some stage. I do hope not.
Pros
Progressive and supportive
Cons
Belief that Agile can deliver well designed mission critical systems

Excellent place to work ,if you can get in!
Production Technician and Auditor for the Ventilator Challenge UK (Former Employee) - Dagenham, Greater London - 23 July 2020
My experience is from the 12 week project for the UK Ventilator Challenge so i do not have a full understanding of the workings for the actual Ford engine plant. The atmosphere whilst working for this project was of trying our best in such a short time to achieve the impossible. But we did it , 12000 units in 12 weeks.
Pros
Decent rate of pay
Cons
No canteen facilities due to Covid.

Mainframe Developer/Support Analyst (Former Employee) - Brentwood - 24 June 2020

Pros
Positive forward thinking culture
Cons
Global solutions are not always best

Stay away and don’t even think to buy a Ford
Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 18 June 2020
Lots of stress, constant pressure, no meritocracy, most of the Managment staff are just incompetent with no skill. They micromanage all your work, HR doesn’t exist, no significant benefits. Toxic environment! Simply the worst!
Pros
None
Cons
Stress
