Very toxic work environment at NOV Pune

Executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good joining salary. Healthy breakfast. Gorgeous building interiors. Huge mediclaim. None of these matter because psychological trauma is too damaging as compared to the benefits.

Cons

Work environment is extremely toxic. Pune plant is managed by narcissist & the role is assigned to employees as per whim (Enablers, Golden Child, Invisible Child, Scapegoats). Global Senior Management is fake who act as if they care (bad acting btw). The saddest part is that Scapegoats are always on the radar even when they are high performers. Work life is made extremely miserable for them. God help them by giving them opportunities to work in better organizations. And once you leave, you'll get a badge of Workplace/Narcissist Abuse Survivor!!
