Working at NI - Quality Assurance Engineer Native Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Not many pros left after NI merged with Izotope and some other small companies and became an umbrella company named Soundwide. Many people left the company! Hardware team is struggling and under staffed , many are burnt out and on long sick leave! Some are mobbing others to save their own position and bunch of drama!

Cons

No positivity left in the company, many people left! The rest is dealing with the management and constantly complaining! Real Senior engineers in the hardware team are 3-4 ! People are burnt out, and team is not healthy ! Pretty toxic work environment! No senior to learn from. People without technical knowledge have somehow become seniors with fake yearly review and can not even deal with stress!

Pros

Super cool environment and amazing products that are easy to sell, cause who doesn't love music!

Cons

A lot of miscommunication and groupthink can make marketing projects spiral when they could have been more efficient by just meeting sooner.
