Pros

Opportunities abound if you are willing to move around. Wide variety of jobs touching all aspects of the oil and gas industry.

Cons

Lots of 'old school' thinking permiates the company. Very rigid, and slow to adapt to a fast changing market. Lots of 'leaders' lack leadership abilities, and vision is very short-sighted.

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.
