Pros

It used to be a stable place to work, with a great campus, onsite gym, health clinic, great walking trails and good work life balance

Cons

After the CEO change in 2020 everything went downhill. The big expensive rebrand from National Instruments to NI followed by mass layoffs was the first sign of the lack of direction. Since then, there have been multiple layoffs a year which only got worse with the Emerson take over. There have also been extensive hiring freezes which have led to ghost departments. There is no one left to do the work, so be prepared to do the work of multiple people since they "can't afford" to replace anyone. But each quarter they announce record profits. All the systems they use here are outdated and manual. Salaries are below market and don't hold your breath waiting on any type of raise or bonus. Overall a very top heavy, tone deaf company that is struggling to adjust to being acquired by Emerson.
