Pros

If you have any common sense you are ahead of the curve at Dow. Most leaders never worked any where else. Lots of training using industry best practices.

Cons

Slow to do anything, managers cant make decisions, paralysis by analysis is a big weakness. In many cases strategy changes at point of implementation.

Pros

Freedom to act, decision making and responsibility at all levels. Truly a global company with very committed employees who are well aligned to the company goals and strategy. Values and Ethics are considered important. Good opportunities for learning and development

Cons

Global nature of business can sometimes collide with local decision making, through mandated global processes
