      Strong people, but advancement is stalled and politics overshadow performance

      Pros

      I continue to appreciate the talented people at Dow I work with every day. The teams are full of smart, committed individuals who genuinely want to deliver good work, and most of the positive experiences here come from the colleagues, not the structure around them.

      Cons

      Career advancement is extremely limited. Progression is slow, unpredictable, and often influenced more by internal politics, visibility, and personal relationships than by actual performance or readiness. The criteria for moving up are unclear and the process lacks transparency. The new Diamond Infrastructure solutions is circumventing the mandated interview process for most leadership roles. It’s common to see capable employees stuck in place for years because opportunities are blocked or tied to factors they can’t control. Frequent downsizing and shifting priorities add to the instability. Communication from senior leadership (VP level and above) is inconsistent, and decisions often feel disconnected from the day-to-day realities employees face. This makes it difficult to plan a long-term career here or understand what the company truly values. Dow has great people and meaningful work, but anyone expecting a clear, merit-based path forward should be prepared for slow movement and a political environment that can overshadow performance.
