Pros

Depends on the department, but there is a general tendency to emphasize respect and doing the right thing. It is emphasized especially by the current CEO.

Cons

Work processes set up to drive the right behavior for the existing business acts as a terrible bureaucratic barrier for innovation and pursuit of new markets.

My experience at Dow was overall very good.

Pros

Being a very large company, there are opportunities in many different technological areas. Lateral transfers to new areas have been possible. Most of Dow's locations have relatively low cost of living (especially housing).

Cons

Most of the Dow sites are company towns. This has two consequences: 1. Pretty boring as the community is quite homogeneous. 2. There is little chance to find another job in the same community after you leave Dow.
