Pros

Communication and collaboration between employees and supervisors is great - the "human element" truly is exemplified at Dow. The work-life balance is great, I can easily work a flexible schedule and take Fridays off or leave early during the week if necessary.

Cons

While there is a great opportunity to move around within such a large company, upward movement is slow.

Pros

The level of autonomy given to junior-level employees is very attractive. The training and development opportunities abound and compensation is very competitive. The people are what make the company great. High quality all around

Cons

Headquarters location makes retaining top talent difficult. Industry cycles and feedstock costs make the Dow's continued prosperity questionable. Diverse and progressive, but a bit too paternal for the 21st century.
