Pros

Opportunity to work with great people, excellent benefit and work-life balance. Dow offers 9-80 or 4-10 schedule along with 5-8. I have nothing but only great thing to say about Dow.

Cons

Using force ranked for evaluation can be troublesome for some cases. Many times, force ranked method could be biased to people who are responsible for bigger projects compare to one who might be responsible for multiple small projects.

Pros

"Trial by fire" lets you see and do a lot of things, gaining the knowledge and respect you need to be effective at the role. There is a lot to do, but there is freedom to chose more interesting projects as they come up.

Cons

"Trial by fire" means work-life balance can be impossible. When a few weeks of extra unpaid, uncommensated over time turns into a few months, it can wear on you and SOs. Training is mostly internet-based. Peer help is limited because no one seems to have time to teach or discuss. Timelines are not realistic.
