I applied online. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company in Mar 2022
Interview
Simple phone interview with friendly recruiter. She was very honest and transparent throughout the process. Did not get an offer but it was a nice experience overall. It’s great what they’re doing
I applied online. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (London, England) in Jun 2025
Interview
Good HR, poor interview. Product and engineering trying to ask questions about design with a non design background. Pointless. It's like asking an IT person to judge a HR personnel candidates capabilities and background. Product manager guy talks a lot likes hearing his own voice rather than listening

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (Detroit, MI)
Interview
Very basic process, couple of interviews, showing portfolio and explanation of process and design thinking. The interviewers were very friendly and gave very insightful feedback. The only thing is that it was only for 5-10 minutes, which made the process a little hesitant or in a hurry.
