Dow reviews

If you want zero work life balance, unreal amount of work, and just overall back stabbing people, then this is the place for you. They place no value on their employee development, you are just going to be another cog in the machine. They tout around the perk of "flexibility" like a value they offer, in reality upper management expects you to bend over backwards for them while they do nothing for you. This place is not professional and do not hold themselves accountable when it comes to caring about employees. This place runs 24x7, people are expected to work on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years...they care about the $, and nothing else.

Knocked two stars off overall rating solely due to my experience at Deer Park. Almost 10 years after Dow bought out Rohm and Haas, Deer Park is still very far behind in implementing established Dow work processes. The most fundamental work processes are often questioned and/or ignored here. Younger employees or heritage Dow employees have a difficult and frustrating time working with the heritage Rohm and Haas employees. Rohm and Haas had a culture of changing parts to keep units running instead of trying to address root causes. I feel this site in particular is a sinking ship and that Dow may choose to sell or close the plant down in the future. There is also an awful lot of gossip and childish behavior at this site. I have worked at several other Dow sites across the USA and have never experienced such pettiness among adults.
