National Instruments reviews

The culture at NI is inbred and cliquish. If you haven't been at NI for at least 5-10 years you'll be considered a noob. Don't expect to come into this organization as an experienced hire and be allowed to contribute. A majority of the middle management team haven't worked anywhere else so they have no idea what the world is like outside of NI. Upper management is sealed off from the rank and file and there is very little leadership or direction.

Type A busy bodies may get frustrated with the slower pace and bureaucracy or decentralized management, pay seems very socialist-minded rather than pay for performance, don't expect much compensation beyond base pay. Office culture has deteriorated due to globalization of teams, taller management hierarchy, new emphasis on performance management, and political correctness.
