Pros

As the innovative leader in the development of equipment used for oil exploration, NOV promotes diversity in the workplace and has created fair and equitable conditions where hard-work and competence are rewarded. It is a good place to work.

Cons

There is a lack of 'common-sense' project management. I believe this is because NOV is an acquisition-based company that has yet to bring all these disparate groups together under one logical unit. This is a common challenge though, for many companies that grow through mergers and acquisitions. NOV has the right people in senior positions to solve this issue.

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.
