"National Oilwell Varco, is a very large company but behaves more like a smaller, more agile company. This is in part that when it acquires companies, it does not try and change too much about the company as it absorbs companies that are already profitable. They treat you like an adult, believing you are working your hardest for them,"

"I was 100% wrongfully terminated, ran off when I did my job more than my manager even did. I suspect jealousy, and the fact that I am a young man who would stand up for what was wrong, nor right. I’ve heard numbers of people tell me the facility I was working at had an environment that was like none other. They weren’t wrong in my opinion."
