Pros

Dow offers a good diversity. You get chances to interact with different functions and people from various backgrounds. For someone new to corporate life, working in Dow could be a beneficial journey to explore yourself and identify the best career track for your future. There are also many good mentors.

Cons

The entire R&D organization is huge. If you don't manage your career it is very likely that your voice would be overwhelmed by the noise. And, just like all the other big companies, there are formalities and politics involved in your day to day work. So deal with it.
