NOV reviews

There is so much opportunity at this organization to advance in your career if you are willing to work hard. I've been very lucky to get to be in multiple different positions during my time here, some of which I was not qualified for when I started, but they love to promote from within and took the time to train me up. I would also say that, for the most part, managers tend to be flexible and work with you in regards to your scheduling.

People are amazing! Friendly and helpful. This is probably one of the best and underrated parts of NOV. Managers are quite approachable and listen to employees. Somewhat flexible work life balance. Managers usually respect and trust employees when it comes to personal needs like dealing with kids, doctor's visits, etc. Telecommuting isn't widely accepted yet but we may be getting there soon. Locations in major cities. Plethora of employee wisdom due to older employees remaining until retirement. Company welcomes feedback. Just recently held a survey and sent out an action plan based on its results. Benefits are at least pretty standard. They compensate for travel. They provide medical, vision, and dental. They match 401k up to 4%, which is nice. Vacation starts at 3 weeks standard and grows with seniority. When times are good, they're great because NOV also does profit sharing. If you know big oil, then you know those checks are nice. Don't expect another anytime soon though. They've already laid off several employees to stay afloat, meaning anyone remaining or new is probably safe at this point. They also seem to be securing more opportunities.
