Pros

I worked for a team out in Anderson, TX. I'm still very much an entry level candidate and they were willing to take me on and train me up. The team I worked under had good leadership values which emphasized a good work life balance. Coworkers were friendly and easy to get along with.

Cons

The oil and gas industry is known for being a roller coaster. When gas prices tanked, I was layed off. Its a volatile soul sucking industry. The Cons are more for oil and gas and not necessarily reflective of the company.

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.
