      Great potential, but has intoxicating and poisonous culture.

      Pros

      Great employee benefits, opportunity for advancement, and relocation or ability to apply to new position is possible every 6 months. Industry leader, provides opportunity, growth, cash flow availability to sustain human resources, and vast array of experience that may not obtain within smaller company. Keep in mind, not for the faint at heart. Self-identity and motivation must be established to survive and grow here.

      Cons

      Pay is below industry standard, management maturity and skill vary, and politics are rampant. Being under a first-time manager, the cons are extreme in regards to management. HR agrees with management and employee discrimination issues from several employee complaints, only suggests filing outside complaint. Also, aware of degrading demeanor to employees, immaturity, unprofessionalism, and more but will not address unacceptable behaviors. Culture is extremely unhealthy with employee discrimination

      Pros

      Great benefits programs for salaried individuals. Clean working conditions.

      Cons

      It feels like a stepping-stone training ground for inexperienced NOV Corporate executives-in-training. You will work on vaguely defined objectives with no apparent prospect for commercialization or profit. Top-heavy middle management is entrenched, offering little opportunity for advancement before next layoff cycle.
