Dow reviews

Company is shifting away from non-core related manufacturing and putting up assets that used to be company owned for immediate cash flow (coincidentally, the most interesting places to work at as an EE). Some of the SME networks that exist internally may be offloaded as well in the next few years. Struggling heavily with the market with China and PE, reflected in lots of EEs are leaving and transitioning elsewhere (or retiring). Lots of brain drain happening and company has terrible EE retention due to lack of opportunities (bloated if in design, not enough projects) and struggling pay. In the projects that do happen a lot of the design is basically outsourced internationally for cost saving measures, that ironically end up costing more a lot of the time due to rework since a lot of the resources overseas just aren't capable. They will overwork and lowball you if given the chance. Very confident in their work process that they're willing to let talent go (to the detriment of literally everyone else in the company). In the next 5-10 years it will be a struggle in the electrical space. It's a chemical manufacturing company, remember, and headed towards a downturn in the cycle. Screwed up in putting tons of a capital on a project in Canada that may never pan out like the ME venture in Sadara years ago.

With challenging financial times currently management to have forgotten the people aspect of work. Promotions have been blocked for the last couple years. Constant air of doom constantly doom being passed down from leadership
