Dow reviews

Those projects get killed in couple of years and your boss gives you kudos for it...and big bonus..and more money to start another pre-failed project. The so called "Scientists" are only interested in getting more patents for themselves and not interested in commerce.

Like other big companies, there is a process for everything, and it can be burdensome at times. Safety protocols are excellent at Dow, but at times can make progress quite difficult for lab researchers. Too much emphasis on growing project management and other soft skills, not enough emphasis on growing technical expertise.
