Pros

- Widest range of equipment for the offshore drilling industry - Lots of things to learn (on your own) - Training was good, but not as focused as it should be. - If you're motivated, go study the PLC or Java codes for the "tools". Otherwise, you're just a technician.

Cons

As with any US company, the culture is hire and fire. Good times - everyone's busy and has a job Bad times - thanks for your service, goodbye People would like to come back, but that reality seems very distant.

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.
