D-R Canada has major management issues
Tech (Former Employee), Canada – July 10, 2012
Pros: oem experience on resume is good - actual experience is not
Cons: very little, if any, support from management. run by incompentent
Would not recommend working at this branch of the company. Upper management is very poor and blind to the issues around them. Micro managed, promote inadequate/underqulaified/technically incompetent people. HR has too much power.

A progressive atmosphere affording unlimited growth opportunity
Programmer, Quality Specialist, Mfg Eng., Supv. (Former Employee), Wellsville, NY – May 1, 2013
Pros: good salary for the area.
Cons: attempting to change too much, too fast.
D-R is a very fast-paced manufacturing environment. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities. A "typical" day is actually no typical. D-R consistently provides learning and growth opportunities for those who show interest and a desire to grow.

In most cases, the rank and file works harmoniously with all levels of management, but, as is common – more... in any large work force, there is occasional dissention. However, owing to the maturity of the work force, mutual respect and rational discussion typically leads to mutually acceptable resolution of issues.

There are third and fourth generation employees, which sometimes make changes a challenge. There is normally enough maturity and wisdom in management to make good use of the generations of experience and knowledge available to them so that new processes are commonly implemented quickly and effectively.

Dresser-Rand constantly utilizes advancements in technology to maintain optimum quality, efficiency and competiveness.

The most enjoyable part of Dresser-Rand is the people. – less

Valuable knowledge attained
Engineering Materials Administrator (Former Employee), Olean, NY – February 19, 2013
Pros: flex hours, regular lunch hour
Cons: too much emphasis is put on degrees, contract employees are laid-off when business slows, no matter how well they do their job.
Dresser has a friendly atmosphere, my co-workers enjoyed a good joke as much as teaching and helping people to do the best job they could. Management seems a little out of touch with who does the most work and only knows how each department is producing, not by individual. That was the hardest part of the job for me, being the highest producing BOM – more... planner, but still was laid off when the workload decreased.
I liked going to work every day. I loved working in an office with all holidays, weekends, and nights off. I never minded getting up and going to work every day. – less

good place to work,but no job security
Reciprocating Compressor Assembly (Former Employee), Painted Post, NY – February 11, 2013
Pros: it was a good job.
Cons: healthcare, a seperated union and inconsistancy on the behalf of management.
work is technical but enjoyable,but sometimes very challenging.
I learned patience, quality and safety are very important traits
that must be displayed each day.
Management seemed to change quite often and are not consistent
with their decision making.
A Union Shop of which there is very little unity and few work ethics.
Watching your back and having – more... to do the work of others while they hid.
The work was very enjoyable. – less

Serious Issues in Finance, Accounting, and Internal Audit
Senior in Finance/ Accounting / Internal Audit (Former Employee), Houston, TX – November 7, 2012
Cons: too many too list here.
I only spent few months in this company due to the negative environment in the finance department. There is a high turn over rate and employees are extremely unhappy there.

Management tends to talk you down and even cross the line by yelling and screaming.

the company overall pays very well and you get 3 weeks of vacation right of the bat. There is – more... an option to buy an extra week of vacation. However, there is no work / life balance.

Also, forget about all the extra perks you may get in bigger companies.

Overall, the culture in D-R is very harsh and cold. – less
