      Pros

      Training, mobility, international assignments for high performers, good benefits, pay is on par with chemical industry average.

      Cons

      Big company, shareholders is the bottom line. Strategy is blurry as Dow announces divestures and scrutinizes businesses that were the soul for decades. No business is safe. The new world is a competitive space for all companies.

      Pros

      "Trial by fire" lets you see and do a lot of things, gaining the knowledge and respect you need to be effective at the role. There is a lot to do, but there is freedom to chose more interesting projects as they come up.

      Cons

      "Trial by fire" means work-life balance can be impossible. When a few weeks of extra unpaid, uncommensated over time turns into a few months, it can wear on you and SOs. Training is mostly internet-based. Peer help is limited because no one seems to have time to teach or discuss. Timelines are not realistic.
