Dow Technical Service & Development Scientist reviews

A lot of the I&D work is performative & definitely a toxic positivity vibe. They don’t always want to hear what the gaps are, just create nice marketing stories that appeal to their audience. Meanwhile, employees actually need things fixed & struggle to navigate systems. They make employees & ERGs shoulder the burden & take on extra unpaid work to push for change, then wonder why people are burnt out & they lack diversity. Simply put, Dow wants to be the most innovative & inclusive company…unless it costs them money. They will always pick the cheapest solution even to their own detriment. Too much groupthink & lack of desire to fix broken systems & processing, especially in HR. Lack of workforce to actually staff many projects, runs really lean so progress is slow. Many facilities need to be fixed & are run down or lack accessibility features. You need to conform to make it. The idea of bringing your authentic self to work is a joke. Not sure why people think Dow is woke, still the same conservative good ole boys club, just rebranding. Also lots of passive aggressive attitudes that likely come from Midwest culture.

After the Dow/DuPont split, the much small Dow company does not appear to have their heart in investing in science and technology anymore. I would rate Dow a 2 star after the spin-off and formation of the smaller company.
