They are laying people off today in Houston. Maybe other locations too. The new CEO and his cronies are running this place into the ground. I do not have any knowledge or experience in the industry and think they can do a better job and the people they ran off. It is a shame watching all of the good talent being run off to be replaced with the same id--ts that helped destroy GE. They are all about subcontracting all of the work out to foreign countries to save a few dollars. And in return our customers get poor quality equipment. To sit and hear the lies they tell our investors is sickening.

Selling compression will be the best thing that could ever happen to compression! So long and thanks for nothing Andrew!
Hesham got axed and Rambosek (who is better than Paul and Martha at quality) left. What a shame. The stock price has taken a huge dive in the last couple weeks, and I’m not surprised. GE doesn’t know how to manage! And Jacob is still probably spending all day to Angelica the document control manager. I mean Exterran couldn’t manage vessels and nameplates correctly, and sent Archrock/anadarko mismatched nameplates on vessels. And ugh the quality issues! That’s the tip of the iceberg. I drove past SEC the other day, and they were doing work for Kodiak, and Kodiak used to get compression units from Exterran. It’s just sad. They’re going to sell compression...just a matter of time. I left Exterran a year ago but keep in contact with guys there, and I still hate Exterran. They’re a meat grinder
When you look at GE yesterday and Exterran today even a mo–n could see this coming! Unless you are from GE. 2 great legacy company’s slaughtered by insanity. I may not be the smartest person but Einstein had a great definition of Insanity wonder when they will figure it out. Even a RAT knows when to jump off the wheel that spins to nowhere. Urggg
Broken arrow location is going through layoffs. Thanks to Houston management.
They’re closing the NHR facility, which is good and bad. I left there 5 months ago, and brittmoore barely had work, but NHR had tons. But quality was horrible: assemblers putting valves on backwards, vessel rework, shipping compression units without rework being confirmed and open NCRs. Glad I left! I feel bad tho because there are good inspectors who may get the axe.
To say that they do not have any knowledge or experience in the industry is an understatement! I left there about 6 months ago to go work for a competitor and I'm much happier now. My new employer is made up of a lot of Ex-Exterran employees who are extremely talented and knowledgeable. Couldn't be happier with my decision. It was hard to come to work every day and watch them ruin what the legacy employees built up over the past 20 to 30 years. And what is really bad is that they believe they are doing a great job. As soon as they said they wanted to distance themselves from the label of "a compression company" I knew it was time to leave. Exterran was built on compression!
Happening here at Broken Arrow too!
