Pros
Great life/work balance and company culture. People are great at NOV
Cons
Pay is below market and lack of career growth
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Opportunity to cover a lot of ground due to insufficent staffing. Some very tallented coworkers at the plant level. Can make your mark if you are prepared to sacrifice work life balance and some ethics.
Cons
Where to begin... no training or onboarding. Poor salaries and incentives you`ll never see. No retirement match. Layoffs and restructures impacting everyone. No loyalty to employees from senior management. Brain drain of layoffs, early retirements, and resignations have seriously eroded the organization leading to costly mistakes and loss of corporate knowledge. There are so many good opportunities out there, why settle for this sort of environment?

NOV gave me a career not just a job
Mar 3, 2019 - Credit Manager in Houston, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
My managers taught me as much as I was willing to learn. They had faith in me and trusted me which I find refreshing. I was promoted multiple times. Benefits were awesome and I made life long friends within the organization.
Cons
I was disappointed when the downsize happened in 2015. Many great leaders were forced to take early retirement. The new Management team didn't know me or my work ethics so all loyalty went out the window. I was laid off after 13 years. At one time we had 999 entities so it was quite challenging to navigate the company and I had very little work/life balance. I was on call 24/7.
