Pros

1. Benefits are great 2. Most people are good people 3. Flexible hours 4. Plenty of work and then some 5. True to their bonus structure

Cons

1. You need to know someone in upper management to hang around 2. Don't reimburse school as said, even for experienced individuals continuing their knowledge 3. A lot of fresh faces straight out of school without experience, which makes adhering to any processes difficult 4. Constant state of flux and change to structure, sometimes people would start a new position and receive a project only to leave the position quickly and the project is passed down. Unable to be completed 5. Typical corporate environment even though it is masked. If it is time to make cuts, it is everyone for themselves except for the uppers and their friends

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.
