Pros

Company gives you an opportunity to learn complex systems. Extremely fast paced with a huge focus on getting the job done. Advancement is clear, but limited. The company is a great stepping stone to a company that pays more.

Cons

Not enough compensation to keep skilled employees around. Employees hire on fresh out of college for 2-3 years then move to Houston for a 30%+ pay increase.

Pros

Very work/life balance friendly. Very strong benefits package.

Cons

Very Siloed. NOV is the result of over 100 acquisitions and the fractured condition of systems and procedures is evident. Leadership is working on it.
