Dow reviews

Management is terrible - bad decisions at all levels, they just don't know how to run an organization or lead people... they're just out of touch administrators at all levels. Management turnover (a new boss every other year) cripples the company. Politics, politics, politics... it's not a meritocracy. Performance management (rank and yank) is corrosive. All the good people are leaving for other companies, or retiring. Constant fear of layoffs. They hire in lots of kids out of school every year, but fire the experienced people. There's almost no mobility inside the company (despite what the old timers will tell you) unless you're in management.

Does not recognise unions. This leaves employees exposed to individual manages taking advantage. Yearly pay rise and bonus are subject to managers discretion therefore if the manager does not like you it does not matter how hard you work or how much you know he will give you a small pay rise and give people he likes a bigger one.This will result n your wages going down with time. Management consistently bully, lie and manipulate in order to achieve targets that will get them a good pay rise and good bonus. Dow is paranoid about being sued so whenever anything goes wrong Dow does not take responsibility so it blames individuals even if the individual is following Best Practices. Dow management has no respect for employees although they have plenty of literature saying they do.
