Pros

Everyone seems very willing to help, typically you just need to find the right person to ask. It is my first job after graduating and I think I am heading down the right path.

Cons

The oil industry has its constant ups and downs but so long as you do the work, you should be safe. Full time positions are typically the last to be cut.

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.
