It was a pretty straightforward interview. The interviewer answered everything I asked very clearly, and their questions were relevant and didn't put me on the spot. They didn't ask any tricky questions. Honestly, it was one of the better interview experiences I've had.

I got the interview through a family connection to a recruiter at NOV. The actual company was FiberSpar, which NOV bought recently. I applied for the staff accountant role, and the recruiter sent my resume to the hiring manager. He called within a week and set up a 1-on-1 in-person interview at FiberSpar's headquarters. The interview included basic behavioral questions and some technical accounting questions about account reconciliations. The hiring manager was pretty informal and said things like, "I'm not going to ask you stock interview questions because I want to get to know you." Overall, it was a neutral experience. The NOV recruiter was great, but the hiring manager never followed up to say the position was filled, which felt disrespectful. Still, I appreciated the NOV recruiter's positive attitude. It was neutral.

The interview process was lengthy and challenging. It's best not to over-prepare as the questions are dynamic and build on your previous responses. It felt like a test of personal behavior. Ultimately, it seemed like a 'likeability' hire.
