Pros

Some people are nice. Good pay. Ok benefits.

Cons

Too much dei. DEI is valued more than innovation. Dow is moving to cutting its central rd to mimic other similar companies. Investments from management have offered zero returns. There is no good vision and their only way to manage it is to fire people. It wasn’t this bad under Liveris. There is zero and I mean zero prospect of growth. They will cut their way to profitability.
