Pros

It's a very large with a lot of resources and talented people around you. With quite a lot of training opportunities.

Cons

Too much red tape with all the policies. It is too big for its own good. It just buys companies that make money. Trying to continually bring in these mishmash of companies and make them fit as is does not work well.

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.
