Pros

Very laid back atmosphere. Management is willing to work with you regarding personal issues...but that's the best I can say about my experience. My manager had recently been promoted to his position; he lacked competency and gave absolutely no direction for me on my assignments (btw I was an intern)

Cons

Older guys within the organization have been there FOR-E-VER. They are also more likely to hire from outside than promote from within. This will make it very hard for anyone looking for career advancement opportunities.

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.
