Be prepared to spend 30 - 60 minutes filling out forms and also taking a 'culture fit', 'numerical analysis,' and 'verbal' test.

So far I've spent about 40 minutes applying to 1 job.

Edit: 60 minutes

I do want to work there so I'm going to do it anyways.

EDIT EDIT:

I wish I could say it was one of those tests where I learned something even when I failed. Good to see my Masters in CS from Stanford has no value to Ford.

I would love to apply for an internship position but my god is that career site awful. Mid-way through applying it just does nothing but returns "Error You have encountered a system error. We apologize for the inconvenience."

We make cars, but perhaps we could improve our career website. Thank you for the feedback.

We're looking for people who see problems (like the one you experienced), along with efficient and elegant solutions to fix them. Perhaps you'd make a great intern. If there's anything specific we can do to help you with your internship inquiry, please reply or provide feedback to the site manager.

If you're interested in hiring somebody who can fix your career site for you, let me know. My email is in my profile.
