Pros

1. You will be working for and with capable people. 2. No one joins Dow without knowing their stuff. NO ONE. 3. Bosses are generally good to fantastic. My boss continuously stresses that we must make Dow a great place to work and we feel it here. 4. Team members are encouraged to help one another, that's the company culture. We help our colleagues get sales from our customers, and they do the same. 5. Level of support and collaboration within the company is impressive. I am very inspired by the cooperation of my colleagues here. 6. There's never nothing to do here. Workload is high but manageable. You will be paid well and given good benefits but be prepared to have to work hard for it.

Kontras

1. Company has been on many rounds of layoffs, not because it is losing money but because of the increasing profit targets set by management. Easiest way is to layoff staff and we lose good people in the process. 2. Too much focus on shareholder remuneration that it keeps getting repeated over and over again. Yes, it is good to reward shareholders for their investment and confidence in the company but don't forget your staff. 3. Been selling off business units even though they make money - just for short term capital gains to give out as dividends. How about investments for the future?

Pros

Safety culture, flexibility (although less and less over time). Good health insurance and 401k match

Kontras

Dow’s recent years illustrate the challenges of trying to simultaneously satisfy Wall Street’s demands for strong financial performance and aggressive DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) priorities. The company has heavily emphasized inclusion initiatives, including its openly gay CEO publicly sharing that coming out was one of the best days of his life in an internal communication, along with a notable increase in women appointed to senior leadership roles. Hiring practices reportedly require diverse candidate slates—including female candidates—and diverse interview panels before filling positions. These efforts, while well-intentioned, appear to have contributed to a series of questionable strategic decisions. Employees have borne the brunt through repeated rounds of layoffs (including significant cuts announced in recent years), minimal merit increases often in the 2-3% range, stalled promotions, and little turnover at the top levels of leadership. Senior executives seem insulated from the consequences, potentially overlooking how these factors—including their own leadership—may be central to the company’s ongoing struggles.
