Some would have said the same thing about Microsoft yet they are turning things around into an exciting place again

Secondly, $$$ can go a long way in competing for talent

Anon for obvious reasons. I got an offer from the SV Ford location and it was about 1/2 of what Google offered, if you count everything.

It's really unclear to me why a Ford would try to compete in SV given the level of competition and CoL. Sure, maybe establish an innovation center somewhere other than Michigan if only to send a signal that this is something new.But if you're trying to get good people, offer premiums in other locations that have a lot of good people--or even figure out some innovative remote work/travel work programs. You don't take on the Googles head-on.

What were your general perceptions of the team from the interview process, if you don't mind sharing?

Could you be more specific about "everything"?
