Pros

Excellent benefits, great pay, generous time-off policies, some very good employees, low turn-over, strong safety culture.

Cons

The culture of the organization is not positive, management, it was stable until the first round of lay-offs- which shook the foundation and has left many people feeling insecure about the organization and their future, lack of trust in leaders, poor front line leaders, negative/bitter employees, people feel undervalued, very limited career growth opportunities.

Great place to launch a career

Pros

Great work/life balance and alot of autonomy over your roles at an early age. If you give good reason for the company to trust you and your judgement, you can really take your career where ever you'd like it.

Cons

Not much focus on HR's involvement with employees, succession planning and since Dow isn't integrated with oil, it's not as profitable as other Houston based petrochem companies thus, salaries seem to be lower.
