Pros

Since each division of NOV operates independently there are going to be a wide variety of everyone's experiences. Some divisions are quite well run.

Cons

In the Hydrarig/Enerflow division (Calgary, AB): -Communication down from management and between departments is lacking -Lack of training -No performance evaluations or wage review processes -IT is understaffed -Hiring office staff for hourly jobs at low wages and expecting people to make up the difference in overtime. -managers (claim to) lack the authority to adjust wages in their own division, requiring authorization from Houston
