Pros

Working for the most respected Oil Company in Texas, gave you a scene of pride, especially live in and around the Houston area.. When you went to the Dr. or even to purchase a car and mentioned you work for NOV, people would seem like the were ready to roll out the red carpet for you..Not to mention the Management team at NOV, if you needed anything to make your job safer or a little easier, it didn't take much convincing or time for those guys to get things rolling..

Cons

It's an industry driven by the market and cut backs and lay offs are apart of the game..

Pros

Good work environment with fellow engineers. Global company. You get your regular standard benefits, Bonus also if you qualify.

Cons

You wont get paid what you are worth as an Engineer but you will get to work round the clock most times becoz some Sales guy promises the moon to the client by Sun-up and guess who gets to do the work while the sales guy is out golfing? Sales staff get priority over you the engineer. NOV pays and treats sales staff better than engineers whose analysis and input actually get the client to choose our product and actually get the job done.
