National Instruments reviews about "layoff"

Recent rounds of layoffs are affecting job securities.

Leadership doesn't keep up with competitive pay. They are out of touch to the struggles of their people. There is a lot of trust lost at the company in general in the last few years. Like many tech companies, layoffs are now "normal". I would have recommended NI to anyone for years, but now it feels like a sinking ship.

The Emerson acquisition is creating cost cutting and layoffs which is challenging for morale of employees.

caught in a negative feedback loop where lack of revenue growth leads to cuts which leads to lack of innovation which leads to lack of revenue lack of coherent strategy layoffs and restructure on an annual basis (or worse)

Leading up to and after acquisition, the culture has changed. Huge budget cuts, layoffs, and politics.

There have been at least 5 rounds of layoffs in the last 5 years The work culture is changing quite rapidly with being acquired by Emerson - it's more rigid without actually helping to make things run more efficiently

- Senior leadership is running the company into the ground. They alienated the broad base while chasing big customers. It seemed to be working for a year or two, but it’s crashing down now. - Due to the aforementioned leadership, layoffs are always around the corner. - They were acquired be Emerson, which is an uninspiring company. - NI’s customers also aren’t very inspiring. Test is a boring industry, despite NI trying to convince you otherwise.

Pay. They were known to pay less but have stability and great work life balance. After the acquisition, all their top performing employees left because they have layoffs every 3-4 months consistently since the closing of the acquisition. Less people means more work on the employees still there, salary is still much lower compared to the industry average. PTO and other benefits have also lowered since. People were happy to take the lower pay cut for the lifestyle offered here, but now you are paid less than everyone else for the same if not more work. No longer worth it.

basically everything, salary was bad, frequent layoffs
