National Instruments reviews

- incompetent managers on important functional area, manager does not want to acknowledge it as "fail" case and have to keep the position. - no career path and development - very low salary compared to other MNC in Penang - unable to on par with others MNC in Penang on total compensation and benefits - good environment to work is not able to compensate the disadvantage of monetary - recognition is always not coming on time... sometime no at all and sometime get it when almost saturated... management is less sensitive on this or no sense on the important of this... - favouritism/ practice selective listening on issue raised up/ filtering info from low level to top level management - only manager will review employee performance but not the other way with quantitative measurement. Employee's only chance is to answer 2 structural questions to feedback on manager but this document is send back to same manager. There is no close loop to provide feedback and improvement to manager - tough promotion process in R&D - reduce career opportunities with more expatriate assignment and indirectly increase cost

* Under-market wages * Limited career growth from middle level onward. Years of service is the key measurement * Some favoritism in the office * Feed backs are mostly collected from one source rather than multiple sources * Austin's management spend little effort in understanding the Penang's IT team situation. * Complains are taken care in a way that "Who voice it up first, who's the person speaking the truth"
