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.

3rd year in a row of 0$ bonus!!! On top of almost record revenues. This is super frustrating and demoralizing. I see "leadership" who is getting promoted, bonuses and not doing JACK for us. There is Tons of doubletalk about employee engagement and making improvements but tiny raises (1% is HUGE), zero bonus and mandatory actions like : Blood draw annually for medical analysis or face $60 Monthly charge $0 bonus when HUGE deal last year about changing the formula and "setting aside $6mil for bonuses" Crap (1% for years on end) for raises when Austin is expensive Making building improvements and HUGE deal about it, who cares? We are here to work.
