Pros

If you can get into a division that encourages growth, tuition reimbursement, continuous training - your okay...there are some divisions that do not participate nor encourage their employees to take advantage of NOV's offerings...

Cons

Due to NOV constantly buying other businesses - the businesses tend to not "adapt" to the structure of the organization as a whole - every division is different - and with that - some divisions encourage growth while others are still antiquated (i.e. stay in the position for 30+ years)

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.
