      As a new hire, my experience at start was great. However, then started to plateau after approximately a year or so.

      Pros

      - Competitive salary - Comfortable office culture

      Cons

      - No clear path towards promotions, especially for entry to mid level positions - Some locations in DOW are isolated from the rest of DOW and hence do not get the greater benefit; Only a portion. - Small number of team, yields increase in pressure - Although training is marketed during the hiring-state, it really depends on your leader and the priorities around, hence you might eventually not get it at all.

      Pros

      I started working for Dow as a trainee after university. It's a great company to grow up in. I learned a lot and had the pleasure of working in 5 different countries. Good job opportunities with increasing responsibility. Great company to learn, best practice and diverse culture.

      Cons

      Every 3-5 years people are laid off. This happens in an unstructured, random way. At Dow not always the best man or woman is at the right job, it's more who you know. The performance reviews are not taken into consideration and mainly to determine salary levels. If you plan to work for Dow, do not stay longer than 10-12 years. Your CV will be much more worth outside Dow. Use it for learning and then move on. Hardly anyone makes it to normal retirement. The HQ is located in Midland MI, a small white collar town where everyone is linked to Dow Chemical.
