A typical day at dow is running daily labs,doing sample manaement and calibrating machines in use etc.........

Dow is a fun place to work. This is a company that belives in strong work processes. People are very friendly & enthusiastic about their work. Dow is very serious about its Environmental, Health & Safety programs. Leadership always make each & every employee accountable to their safety performance.

Not been there for a long while but it is pretty obvious that this organisation is run by engineers who are sharp as knife and do not have the well-roundedness among others.

Very centralized, and very bureaucratic. You will learn a lot though. There is an ongoing online and classroom training. The hardest part is being bombarded with several meetings – more... such as live requests or room meetings and doing your required trainings and then coping with your day to day clients

Salaries not the best, but the perks are fairly good. – less

Dow is a fun and exciting place to work. Co-workers are helpful and there is a lot to learn. A typical day includes a lot of meetings and a lot to get done through the day in between meetings. For a young person, it is a good place to start as the opportunities are far and wide.

Good six sigma training, compensation, benefits, work life balance.

Dow's selling point is that you work less, family oriented and etc. They use the selling points above to justify the low pay. However, at the end of the day you will work long hours just as you would anywhere else. Dow is very understaffed in the engineering roles, so engineers spend a lot of hours at work. The work isn't hard but it is a lot. Dow wants – more... to top the talent but are only willing to pay average. Also, they do not take the time to develop their new college grads. NCG will be thrown out to the wolves with little to no guidance. Again, not hard work but definitely a lot for average pay. – less

We start the day off by having a safety meeting every morning. After the meeting we would get crews together and branch off throughout the chemical plant and go to work. First we figure out how tall and wide the scaffold would be and then go pack the material on buggies so our forklift driver could bring the material to the job site. The best part of – more... the job was the shift passed by fast. I got along well with co-workers – less

Company gets into finacial hardships by bad decisions in mergers then start lay offs to recoup losses

As a supply chain intern I was given 100% responsibility for the outcome of my projects, which was an important aspect for my career growth and overall development.

Dow Chemical is a good company to work for just looking for a change after 38 years. We produce Isopropanol
Work with a lot of good people hourly and management
the most enjoyable part of the job is making a quailty product

Newly purchased from Texise, DOW automatically encountered conflicts with long term union. Labor disputes forced company to shut operations in parent location and to keep operations going, a temporary plant was established until a new automated plant could be built.

I've had an awesome time with Dow...but I am looking fo new challenges

This company is a very Big company with a fast paced environment. It is very hard to maintain a work/life balance but can be managed.

Overall a great place to work. Management listens to the employees, and co-workers are helpful. The typical day consisted of working with people across the campus and coordinating different types of testing for our product. The hardest part of the job is taking care of all the paperwork and being bombarded from all sides on testing needs. The best part – more... of the job is working as a team and really accomplishing great things. – less

Good place to work, good benefits and compensation package

My typical day at work begins with checking my daily schedule for any project meetings, meeting with any co-workers and any possible meetings with the user for details or data I may need to design my construction package.
If you were to review my resume it gives more detail for your review

Dow Chemical grew fast but doesn't seem to have a clear direction from our upper management. In the last 4-6 years, improvement is simply to re-org. When the strategy doesn't seem to work, they re-org and give wall street a lot of spin. Stock has been flat. They buy businesses at the high and sell at the low.
