Pros

Engineering team was very talented and willing to put in extra time to make the project succeed. Tools and lab space to perform tasks.

Cons

Poor technical and budgetary management of the projects left engineers performing work-around and hacks rather than addressing the issues. Solid products, but could be so much better.

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.
