Pros

Easy job. Shop personnel are great to work with. Excellent sales team. Field work and minimal travel are a plus, varying work sites can make for a dynamic experience.

Cons

Employer fails to keep promises made during interviews. Management creates a hostile/excessively competitive work environment. Almost no actual engineering required for position responsibilities. Manufacturing is excessively behind schedule, it creates numerous difficulties with customers and directly affects customer relationships in a negative way.

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.
