Pros

The best reasons to work for Dow are the benefits that it offers. It is a very understanding company. They know that every engineer is different- some want families and more free time, some others are just ambitious and like to work and get to the top. Dow has created the flexibility for engineers to choose and decide on their path according to where they see themselves best fit. This is what I really like about the company. Also, Dow is an international company, therefore, you have the opportunity to potentially work abroad if that's what you want to do. The culture is great too. People at Dow are generally very friendly and easy going.

Cons

As an engineer starting at Dow, the pay is not the highest compared to what oil companies would pay. However, as long as performance is good, it is not difficult to earn raises. Other companies may offer a higher pay, but most likely are not willing to give raises as fast.
