Pros

The company was great about new ideas and implementing new equipment. Management was very good about listening to employee's concerns on safety and process improvement. Many opportunities to shine.

Cons

The Oil Industry goes up and down too much. Also Upper Management has an inner circle. it's hard for them to understand the daily tasks of lower employees and they make decisions based on their perspective.

Pros

Very work/life balance friendly. Very strong benefits package.

Cons

Very Siloed. NOV is the result of over 100 acquisitions and the fractured condition of systems and procedures is evident. Leadership is working on it.
