Pros

Since each division of NOV operates independently there are going to be a wide variety of everyone's experiences. Some divisions are quite well run.

Cons

In the Hydrarig/Enerflow division (Calgary, AB): -Communication down from management and between departments is lacking -Lack of training -No performance evaluations or wage review processes -IT is understaffed -Hiring office staff for hourly jobs at low wages and expecting people to make up the difference in overtime. -managers (claim to) lack the authority to adjust wages in their own division, requiring authorization from Houston

Pros

Truth is if you're not white, you're not right. No growth within this company not less you kiss butt. It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Cons

The benefits are great. 401K, Heath, Dental and paid vacation time. There's no chance of growth within NOV. This company sucks big time
