Pros

People I've worked with tend to be nice.

Cons

Multiple meetings about the same project with different project leaders. Some of my colleagues spend the majority of their time in Teams meetings that could be summed up in a group chat/email. Throwing money out the door with unused software and equipment. Inefficiencies everywhere you look. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, very siloed. They talk a big game about all the advanced things they are doing but are literally not doing any of them. So much middle management nothing gets done. Promotes shadow IT because of draconian policies that do the opposite of securing the organization. Trying their best to outsource everything to unqualified vendors. Typical large bureaucracy that has lost it's way. Management doesn't care and doesn't want feedback.

Pros

Excellent flexibility with work schedule and arrangements.

Cons

There is minimal diversity of thought at Dow - they hire direct from universities and squeeze out all of the professional diversity. If you don't have a "sponsor" you don't progress. High levels of bureaucracy - slow and difficult to get anything done. Shareholders >>>> Everything. High levels of formality - Be sure you dress the way the leaders prefer. Management is prioritized over leadership. People leaders are really project managers in disguise.
