Pros

I met a lot of great people and did some fun stuff.

Cons

I got a new boss, found out we were out of compliance in regards to an aspect of a new position I was in at that time. Brought it to that new boss’s attention. She placated me. Then the new boss told me I was going to have to find a new place to work within the company or be let go and in front of HR lied and said I didn’t like working there and like an idiot I just took it instead of standing up for myself. That being said: what happened was highly unethical. Certain business units do a good job, others know how to lose money and move operations around without any consideration to cost. It’s cost a lot of people their jobs and many locations to be closed. Not just because of down markets but total mismanagement.

Pros

Direct management is good. They actually praise hard work.

Cons

Upper management could careless about you. Been here for years and haven’t had a raise or even a review in over three years but the work load just keeps piling up. Gets ride of good employees and keeps the ones that don’t work because of politics and friendships.

Pros

HR wise, it is very good.

Cons

No raises, unless you move positions. If you move positions, only a 10% max pay raise is allowed. Extremely political and managers want to build things to make themselves look good. No team concept for most managers. Working weekends without a comp day or any form of compensation is "NOV's expectation of you".
