Pros

If you are interested in advancing your career or changing fields chances are NOV will give you the opportunity to do so. They also support professional development, but you may have difficulty advancing within the company.

Cons

The company is very disorganized & dysfunctional. Management tends to prevent successful employees from promoting especially if it means they will leave the business group. Management blocks employees from transferring unless they have disciplinary issues.

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.
