Pros

The benefits (particularly retirement) are pretty good, vacation is better than most and there is a lot of job security as we experienced few if any layoffs during the recent economic downturn.

Cons

The compensation is not at industry standard and in my particular division (distribution) HR concerns (advancement, performance feedback, etc...) is not a priority.

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.
