It is harder to do a good job, and to take care of the "customer", than it was 6 - 15 years ago. - Customer Service Supervisor NOV Employee Review

Pros

NOV is a solid company, and I do not fear lay-offs as one might somewhere else. They offer a good benefit package, and seem to be fair when it comes to employees personal needs. I don't feel that we are working under a microscope, as it seems we are trusted to do our jobs.

Cons

Leadership does not seem to be strong enough, and communication is not good between senior management and the "workers" that need direction. It seems that some management positions are filled with people that don't have a clue about this business or how it should be handled. More promotion from within should be done.

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.
