I am wondering if someone wants to join Ford, what is the expected Base engineer salary at Ford with 6 years experience. Also what is the annual hike ? 3%?
Asking the people of Ford based on their experience because i can not find these data online( glassdoor is not accuratr in terms of experience to know exactly)
Typically Ford discusses salary expectations early in the interview process. If you expect more than what can be offered for the position in question it’s usually a hard stop. They don’t want to waste their time with a candidate who wouldn’t accept what they’re willing to offer. As mentioned by others Ford isn’t open to negotiation unless you’re pretty high up that ladder.
Salaries are not to be shared with outside (non employees) but for starters out of college most automotive are going from 64-75k depending on what field and what you know I am assuming 6 years of experience whether at ford / GM / Supplier, your range should be 85 - 110k depends on education and what you have done before.
Biggest factor will be what pay grade the offer is for since you'll almost certainly less than +/- 5% of the range median. As someone else mentioned already, annual adjustment is closer to 2% than 3%, and HR has a fudge factor to keep everyone close to the median regardless of skill or effort. Over the longer haul I wouldn't expect to do any better than keeping up with the inflation numbers the gov't published, if even that. Considering how the gov't has many times changed the way CPI and inflation is calculated to hide how high inflation really is merely keeping up with those numbers is a slow slide down the standard of living scale.
There is no longer ant rhyme or reason in page scales at Ford anymore. HR will make whatever offer they will. What they offer one person for a job can be completely different than they offer another. With the new diversity push, add what the color of your skin is as a factor. If you are not a person of color, I advise you steer clear of Ford. If you are a white male, run away as Ford is a waste of your time.
I hope Ford people can share some salaries here to get a better view of salaries and what's it like at Ford nowadays.
Avg. merit is more like 2%. The past three years even if you walked on water for your PR you were put into Achieve category. Unless you are a chosen one (especially if Ford is your last name). I wander how many people out there kept damaging or incriminating emails? You can bet NHSTA will get a basketful when SRD starts back up
Let me add this to my question to make it clearer, so I am making 91k total at a tier 1.
Annual hike is set at 3% no more no less.
First, experience really counts for nothing at Ford, in fact it will likely hurt you. If hired, you will work alongside people at your same grade with zero experience. Second, HR is going to pretty much give you a take it or leave it offer so basically you can counter but likely they will really not negotiate. As for annual, they have revised the policy to more easily allow managers to funnel money to favorites and now "diversity" employees. Add to the policy to try to force pay to the center range. What that means is that if you are making more than those around you, your annual will be less regardless of performance.
