Pros

You will learn A LOT at NOV. It is more of a situational have-to rather than a chance to though.

Cons

Long hours. 50-70 hour weeks, even for office workers. Due to all of the layoffs everyone is short-handed which means most positions are handling the responsibilities of three positions. Burn-out is common. The higher-ups would rather spend $2 million on a new Service Center office, than hire more employees for the SC or even give the employees raises. 401k match is gone, bonuses for salary is gone, and if you ever get put on an on call list, you will get called 2-5 times per night, some of which can last for hours.

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.
