      Pros

      * Most people are pretty nice * Benefits are good * Fairly easy to move around * No set promotion schedule - all merit based

      Cons

      * They never fire anyone, even the abusive managers who should get fired * Work is not particularly challenging or innovative * NOV is not really a "leader" in the oil and gas sector * Entry-level compensation is below industry average.

      Position was not what was described to be

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They do have some good benefits and management seems to be eager to train their personnel.

      Cons

      Departments I engaged with were not competent and consistently would shut down the project. Work was mundane, not challenging at all. This could be different in other groups though.
