    Idiots like this guy completely fail to understand that a software engineer’s skill set is applicable to virtually any project. The real culprit for Ford’s ineptitude is the dumb decisions management has been taking over the years.

    • Virtually doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I’m not sure about taking a front end engineer and having them write low level real-time code with the same level of proficiency and efficiency but generally yes there’s definitely more flexibility with swe.

  • I mean he's not wrong. Software engineering at most vehicle companies are extremely poor with bad practices. One obvious way to fix this is to either pay more to lure competent devs or just try to select for better applicants.

    I was an intern here and sat at a meeting with this guy. He yelled at an intern for taking too long to ask a question, and then berated the question lmao. But he has a point. Talent at some areas of Ford is really really lacking. PMs have no idea what theyre doing. New grads leave after 3 years for higher TC.

    TC: 150k

      Well... do you know why Ford is lack of talents? It is because if the new talents are coming in, and the boomers are trying to drive them away with lots of harassment. (It may be common on many Michigan automotive companies.)
      They do not give good amount time to learn and perform well. They just drive them away before new hires are prepared.
      They usually don't like new hires if they are having different accent, having non-white skin colors, or not WASP.
      Even the CEO is having issue. Why he yelled for being slow? He is not good to encompass neuro-divergence. Lack of patience.
      Younger talents cannot bear the low TC under huge stress, which Ford offered to them.

    • @ColliGKid You described Ford perfectly for me. I couldn't recommend a single smart new grad to come here. I'm so happy I get to gtfo soon.
