Pros
Nice folks at team level, office in Kreuzberg, etc.
Cons
You‘ve probably read all the other reviews that have been posted in the last weeks. Unfortunately every single word of it is true. A lot of talented and experienced coworkers have been fired, others left on their behalf. Many of the remaining ones are demotivated. If you would want to describe the atmosphere at NI in one word: Toxic. If you are browsing Glassdoor you most likely haven‘t joined the company yet. So you don’t care too much about past events. You will be more interested in the future of NI. Ok, what is to expect in the next 1-2 years? That‘s the sad part: Nothing positive. There seems to be no plan how to execute the roadmap with the reduced staff. There‘s no clear strategy where to go with the company. Don‘t get fooled by the PR that was released after the August layoffs. Nobody at NI knows yet what One Native and the platform strategy really mean as priorities change every few weeks. The CPO doesn‘t have any vision for his department. The CMO is trying to apply at NI what he has learnt in his last jobs. But he hasn‘t realized yet that NI‘s business is a different one. The CEO doesn’t learn from his mistakes (and he made a few in the last two years), is still convinced that only he knows what‘s best for NI and is just not willing to listen to anyone. Last week's Q&A session showed that there‘s no sign that anything has changed. My advice: Don‘t join this company. I‘m serious about it. Don‘t do it. The bad times at NI are not over. If there‘s not a miracle happening - and I don’t believe in miracles - then we will hear more bad news from this company in the next year.
