Pros

Benefits are great and a lot of good people front line supervisors and below. Flexibility if your supervisor likes you.

Cons

Very political on the mid management level and up. If you are not in the click you will not get to that level and if you rub anyone the wrong way on that level and above you can quickly go from friend to foe. Still a lot of nepotism at some of the facilities. Some divisions are run better than others. Lacks diversity in mid level management positions and higher.

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.
