Pros

Good for you, if you are in Top circle, or a Next Gen, an Intern, or if you have a family member, or you know some of the big bosses. Some say, the medical benefits are great. I don't value it that much. A few get top quality training, travelling opportunities and exposure. Others are left at the mercy of their managers.

Cons

The system is flawed. It was masked by profitable market all these years. Now it is becoming obvious to many. Biased career advancement, benefits, perks to selected employees. They are not based on merit, qualification or experience, but purely by who hired them, who run the department and whom they know.

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.
