Pros

Nothing good to say. Believe the overall consensus of all the reviews, and make a decision for yourself. You are an adult.

Cons

Every negative review has already said. If you are single, or desperate? If you are looking to enter in the audio video industry? This is the place for you. Do not believe the positive reviews.

Pros

There are no pros to working at Ford. What a horrible company and group of owners. Do NOT even apply!!!!!!

Cons

Everything, from the fact that we had to buy our own office supplies (even highlighters wouldn't get approved!) to the fact that the company is run by sexist, conservative bigots.

Pros

High job security, Easy work, Lots of work, Small quarterly bonuses (profit sharing), lots of scheduling freedom (varies by office).

Cons

Treats exempt employees like hourly that they don't have to pay overtime (no give and take), Overtime expected, Bad internal communication, No standardization for products, coding, UI design, etc (eternal dev cycle). Projects are distributed according to current load without consideration for preference, experience, or ability. All aspects of a job (project management, verifying and fixing install, commissioning) fall on the engineer except the one that should (system design, estimators do that). Large jobs are done by one engineer (support available on task by task basis, no lead time scheduling, no accountability). Losing an engineer destroys productivity for someone else's quarter. Pay is low, no schedule for increases. No method for feedback to improve project processes.
