Pros

When the oil industry is good, NOV is a leader in manufacturing oil rigs and drilling equipment so it is always producing and has work. Customer satisfaction and employee safety is a priority. Tons of training is invested in employees.

Cons

Raises are not great could be better. Promotions called lateral moves so no pay increase is common. Advancement is hard when opporunites/positions are pre-filled within inner circles.

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.
