      Fantastic Company When I Started

      Project manager/manufacturing representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dow offers great insurance from Aetna. The company has a low-cost set of nurse practioners that you can see for $10 a visit near the plant for general health needs. You can have a varied and interesting career here.

      Cons

      The company culture greatly favors people in their early thirties and below. If you have not become management by that age, then you may not be treated as well as you were earlier in your career. Dow's management practices ageism.

      Mixed Experience

      Senior counsel
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are nice and usually highly qualified. Company is good at insuring that processes get followed and that pay and benefits are at least average in the industry. Good manufacturing/operations

      Cons

      Weak leadership except at the topmost levels. Politics has been skewed by at least the fear of if not the fact of a might makes right culture. Rank and file are officially allowed to reach up to air issues but are in fact greatly discouraged from or punished for doing so. So, company changes very slowly and the average employee has very little perspective about anything beyond their day to day tasks. Tellingly, most processes require following a long checklist rather than sound judgment; and the most competent are often left unappreciated while brownnoses win. And there are rewards for fingerpointing- so aggressive climbers win even when it hurts the company.
