Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn a lot about the Lifting and Handling division of NOV. You get a lot thrown at you and you're expected to figure it out, but you end up leaning on the 'tribal knowledge" of the longtime employees to be successful

Cons

Poor communication from management to employees and poor communication amongdepartments (engineering, project management, purchasing). Promises made and not kept, though who could see the oil price crash coming? Two rounds of layoffs and mass retirements in my < 3 years there
