National Instruments reviews

Salary is a joke. Think getting a promotion will help? Think again. Even with promotions you have to wait until the pay cadence comes around. If you are promoted with the same group plan on doing both your old job and your new one; both for that tiny increase. Back-fill for that old position? Again, keep dreaming. One of the big problems with no back-fill is that the work-life balance becomes a thing of the past. When a co-worker leaves, you can count on having to do their work since your manager will not be allow to hire.

Employee incentives are currently misaligned. Bonuses are pathetic on top of laughable salary. Everybody gets the same bonus percentage based on a completely unrealistic company-wide target. Performance reviews have no bearing on compensation. High performing employees might be rewarded with a gift certificate. With tech booming, employees are leaving for other companies with base salary increases of 20% or more. Senior management has recognized the attrition, but has yet to act.
