      Pros

      Great company structure and areas of growth. Great benefits and resources. Houston is a great place to work and live.

      Cons

      Large company and sometimes you may get lost in the crowd. Many locations located in Houston and it may be confusing to others.

      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

      Pretty much agree with all of above from the NOV fellows and veteran.

      Cons

      No.1 - low pay for talents, avg 25% lower pay than job with similar experiences in O&S companies. Myself as example, my salary jump from 01's at $40k to $50k, even with a MBA degree. I made 60% more after left NOV, and 300% more now. My advice, if you asked your manager and HR for opportunity to advance your career 3 times and receive no answer. Get out.
