Dow reviews

Layoffs are now normal. There is not much job security

The average age is a bit high With a very strong focus on earnings every year, you tend to hear "no" more than "yes" when it comes to new projects or ideas. The onboarding experience was not great - I was kind of thrown into the fire and was expected to understand the structure, workings, and expectations of the company very quickly. 2 years+ in, I'm just atarting to get it, but I felt like it's been a very "wobbly" experience until this point. Midland, while being a great place ot raise a family, is an awful place to start a family. While the new hire scene is there and growing, you need to make an effort to partake in it. Without a social group, you'll find yourself struggling to find things to do. Most of the time, even with a group of friends, you'll venture outside of Midland on weekends to do things (northern Michigan in the summer, traveling South in the winter (maybe a little bit of skiing up North)).
