NI - A great place to intern

Anonymous employee

Pros

Interns get meaningful projects that are used for years to come. The products that NI makes are incredibly useful for engineers. The location in Austin is convenient.

Cons

Pay is too low for expected work. Pay is inadequate for cost of living in Austin. Growth has stagnated and so have career opportunities. Employee sentiment is low and the leadership refuses to improve compensation. Employees are not offered industry standard certifications (PMP, Lean, Six Sigma, etc.), instead the employees are given the "NI" version which is not useful outside of NI. This makes it hard for long term employees to leave. There is no transparency to the compensation model. Titles do not match the work that employees do.
