Pros
Dow hires some good, hard-working people who are always there to help when you need it. A lot of people care about their work and want to see the team succeed. Dow also cares a lot about safety which I always appreciated. Pay is pretty good and benefits are great as well.
Cons
The bad leaders and the fact that there was absolutely no work/life balance. All leadership cared about was how much work they could squeeze out of you and how many deadlines you met despite major life events and/or challenges. I actually tried to convey to my leader once that I was a little burnt out from my work, which included being on call for nights and weekends, and was essentially called crazy because I "just went on a long vacation a year ago" (yes, my leader actually said this to me). Also, with my role, I never felt like I could really excel because I was doing the job of 3 people, so it was difficult to get promoted because all the hard work I was doing was what was "expected" of me. I also always felt like I would receive negative feedback for picky things or for no reason at all, which I learned later was true for everyone. Other companies try to promote quickly to retain talent but from what I've noticed with Dow is it usually takes 3-5 years minimum just to be promoted within most roles. Overall, Dow is a good company for those individuals who are extremely competitive for very little reward, enjoy receiving a lot of negative feedback, and don't want a life outside of work.
