NOV reviews

Be prepared to feel like a slave if working for NOV. Hours are long and compensation is low. Salaried workers are expected to carry the workload of at least 3 to 4 people so the company can be more profitable. Hourly workers are not always given sufficient notice about hours they are required to work (i.e. you may find out you have to work a weekend on Friday and will be written up if you don't cancel plans and comply.)

If you have friends in the right places, great place to be. Get promoted often. If you do not have the right friends, or there is a change of power, watch out. Those in power will give all the promotions to their friends. If you are lucky, you will get pushed into a corner, if you are not, or have a desirable position, they will eliminate or demote you to give it to their friend.
