A place to learn, not be recognized.

Business Outlook

Pros

Commitment to EH&S is real and serious. Communication of vision and goal alignment is reasonable. Very strong technical bench and colleagues though Dow is doing it's best to throw this away.

Cons

Very Poor accountability for management. Politics are beyond bad and on into ridiculous. Work processes focus only on the process and not the work ensuring that the lowest common denominator is applied in an oppressive ineffective bureaucratic mess. Inward focus is so bad it is laughable.

Don't waste time and energy on getting a job here, unless its a last resort

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay but you don't know if or when you will get a pay increase.

Cons

To much politics. To many procedures that don't add anything to a job except how long it takes to complete the job. Very secretive. Current management (that is left) becomes lapdogs when Dow brings in their own managers. Employees are afraid to think for themselves and just follow the procedures. Seem to target older employees for like others have stated. Contractors are treated better.

Great benefits, boring work

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was not bad. Also the housing was fully furnished and subsidized. Only paid a portion of rent and no cost of utilities. Job did not require much.

Cons

Job did not require much. I reemphasize this in the cons because I was bored throughout my work term. Job did not actually require an engineering background.
