Pros

Big company, gets away with a lot. Good people at the mid to lower levels. On commercial side you get to go to big events on the corporate card.

Cons

CEO is a bozo. No credibility. Strategy is incoherent. Shuffles leaders, managers, and presidents every 6-12 months. Nobody ever challenges him or they are gone. Sponsor the olympics for 10 years??? YOU ARE A CHEMICAL COMPANY NOT A CONSUMER FOCUSED COMPANY. What a waste of time and $$$ Again shareholder devalue. His #2 sitting in Europe is a waste of $$ to shareholders and has never done anything to create value. No respect for women in the executive wing. Awesome women who challenged Euro weenie were shown the door. The CEO was called the worst CEO ever by Mad Money and put on the wall of shame. CEOs went nuts and put a big $ push to all his CEO cronies to get that taken down. AND THYE DID! That should say it all. Also, look at the lawsuit by the female compliance officer First, decried here. and now, try to settle. Another waste of shareholder $$.

Pros

If you like science, you will enjoy working at Dow. It's a wonderful organization in which you can work with smart, hard-working, scientific individuals.

Cons

Similar to other companies, the organization has had many layoffs. Therefore, it is somewhat resource-constrained.
