Pros

Good benefits. Challenging and rewarding work.

Cons

Low Pay, typical employee gets 20-30% raise by leaving. Company only cares about shareholders and this quarter's numbers. Massive layoffs leaving divisions too understaffed to function. Company expects your life to revolve around work. Not uncommon to be instructed to travel overseas (China) with less than 24 hours of notice, for anywhere from 1-6 weeks.

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.
