Pros
Somewhat flexible work hours Strong projected safety emphasis (although often overshadowed by ridiculous compliance requirements) Very good vacation Very good health benefits Fair pay
Cons
From my own perspective, Dow Chemical is a far worse company to work for now than it was not so many years ago and it's not getting better. As at least one other reviewer has stated, there is far too much emphasis on EBITDA and far too little on the fuel that runs the engine - the employees! Is the "Human Element" just an empty slogan? Leaders overcommit personnel to too many projects which yields "half-baked" research and missed opportunities for employees to gain in-depth knowledge about the science they're involved with. This all leads to an unnecessary level of stress and low job satisfaction. Young, inexperienced leaders are making decisions on behalf of their personnel resources without a good understanding of their capabilities and desires. Input from subordinates is often only solicited after the fact. True personal safety has become overshadowed by a ridiculously convoluted and disjointed compliance program! The number of online training modules is overwhelming and largely ineffective.
