Pros
If you are interested in Technology, then Dow Chemical can be an interesting employer. Many cutting edge technologies have been developed here. Many opportunities exist for promotion but they require you to aggresively pursue them. Due to Dow's size, you can move to different positions and try different fields. New opportunities can be generated if an employee actively demonstrates the initiative.
Cons
Corporate headquarters is very stiff. Layoffs occur frequently throughout the company and are not necessarily based on competency. In addition, layoffs typically affect lower level workers, not managers. Like many companies, your professional growth is dependent upon seizing opportunities as they arise.
