National Instruments reviews about "layoff"

Very volatile job security. Constant waves of layoffs. ZERO change management alignment after hostile takeover by Emerson Electric. Pre-Emerson NI was unparalleled in employee appreciation and treatment.

Layoffs affected high cost geographies

The founder of the company left, new management came in, multiple, multiple rounds of layoffs across the entire company led to a toxic work environment.

salary increment is low a lot of lay off always cut budget or freeze budget, in 2019, everything is much better than now.

After the CEO change in 2020 everything went downhill. The big expensive rebrand from National Instruments to NI followed by mass layoffs was the first sign of the lack of direction. Since then, there have been multiple layoffs a year which only got worse with the Emerson take over. There have also been extensive hiring freezes which have led to ghost departments. There is no one left to do the work, so be prepared to do the work of multiple people since they "can't afford" to replace anyone. But each quarter they announce record profits. All the systems they use here are outdated and manual. Salaries are below market and don't hold your breath waiting on any type of raise or bonus. Overall a very top heavy, tone deaf company that is struggling to adjust to being acquired by Emerson.

Post acquisition by Emerson has gotten more corporate, lost it's culture and fun, had a ton of layoffs of lots of core talent

Continuous layoffs and organizational changes
