      Pros

      Great Coworkers, nice place to teach classes, in 8 years, I qualified to teach ten different classes, set my own next thing to work on when not teaching. The working hours were pretty stable, and distancing is happening now. Two or three of those left behind are incredibly talented and still there trying to take up the slack.

      Cons

      Cut the Company Match for 401K, let most senior and qualified people laid off, management grew short-sighted and acted that way. I imagine it will get much worse before it gets better for them since they kept the less effective/productive people working there. Given the choice, I would not work there again. Management was too hit and miss.

      Pros

      good work environment, caring management

      Cons

      There have been no raises in 5 years for office employees!?! Union workers are not subject to this, and would never put up with it. From what I have been told, this is the policy of NOV and the oil industry in general. I don't buy this, and as a result of the lack of raises many good employees have left the company. NOV bought out Chemineer/Robbins and Myers about 5 years ago, and this wasn't the policy previously. The only way to get a raise is to be promoted, and there is very limited opportunity for this. Often, they don't promote from within the organization, so loyalty is not being encouraged.
