National Instruments reviews

Compensation is very low, 20% lower than industry across the board. Recognition of employees is not a priority. Retention of experienced hires is huge problem.

- The pay increase does not keep up with inflation and there is little vertical room for growth - There are a lot of office politics within the company, you need to be able to "navigate the organization" rather than focus on your work - Some teams do what's best for themselves rather than do what's best for the company in terms of budget, accountability, and teamwork - Some employees do not get recognized for their work - their senior counterparts will receive the credit despite efforts to change this - This is an engineering company. Therefore, most of the investment goes into the engineering organization while the marketing department isn't treated as well. They are expected to consistently outperform their goals while their budget consistently shrinks.
