Going downhill fast, Good, Bad and Ugly. - Senior Engineer NOV Employee Review

Too many companies were acquired by NOV but never properly integrated, tons of inefficiencies. Career growth is mismanaged, e.g. failed mechanical engineers are promoted into business positions creating a plethora of incompetent mid-management "directors" and "VPs" running the business into the ground. Also, when a US company starts outsourcing and bringing a lot of Indians on board, you know the business is going south and cost-compete downhill.
