Pros

If you’re good you’ll get lots of hours. You can gain a rather impressive skill set.

Cons

If you’re good you’ll get lots of hours and never see your own bed, family or anything else you might value. I have put in nearly 84 hours a week for the last two years. Don’t expect a raise. Don’t expect your contribution to matter unless you screw up.

Pros

Very work/life balance friendly. Very strong benefits package.

Cons

Very Siloed. NOV is the result of over 100 acquisitions and the fractured condition of systems and procedures is evident. Leadership is working on it.
