Pros
-Work life balance exists with your choice of a 4 10 or 9 80 work schedule. -Dow values diversity as there has been large initiatives to push up the women and minority representation in their work force. -Great resume brand name in the Midwest and in the South. -Opportunities to have short term roles abroad early in your career if you make it known on your EDP. -A company run by engineers. Hard to find one not run by MBA's and Finance folks nowadays. -This is the company to join if you are a ChemE and have a passion for large scale manufacturing. Not many companies come close to Dow's manufacturing scale.
Cons
-Intensive cost cutting is pervasive throughout the company. Some businesses have it worse than others. It seems like cost cutting is becoming a primary focus of Dow but I hope this doesn't become its "fall." -Pay for Gulf coast engineers isn't up to par to those in similar industries. Young top talent engineers may consider jumping ship because of this.
