Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Dril-Quip full-time
Pros
Excellent exposure to the industry. You are thrown into the fire here and will learn a lot as the company is vertically integrated and expects the engineers to do much beyond their job description.
Cons
Management is very poor and inexperienced. Little to no true leadership or vision for how to grow the company and survive the industry downturn. The company has had a pay freeze since March 2015, and since that time has gone through three rounds of layoffs and a 10% pay cut with no end in sight to the cuts. Very bleak outlook.

Advice to Management
You've had 3 rounds of layoffs, 3 years of pay freezes and now you are cutting our pay by 10% but yet DQ has bought 2 companies and upper management still has fat bonuses. How about treating employees like they flipping well matter?????
