National Instruments reviews about "management"

Global Policy Salary Competition Industry

location of office, fuzzy management

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.

Lack of direction and understanding from higher management

Compensation is low, Training is minimal.

Some of the more senior engineers had a stuck up attitude and did an awful job of explaining things / training me on things that were so esoteric and company-specific, and then would complain I took time away from them, and act like I should know how to do it now. Additionally, the debug tools were so outdated and buggy, that at times I'd spend 70%-80% of my week debugging the debugger. Was an absolute headache of a job a lot of the time working in RF driver development.

Management was not very communicative, you didn't feel like they were advocates for you in the company

Actively shifting jobs to low cost geographies and laying off US employees to cut costs. Active conflict between divisions leading to circumventing processes and policy. Constant management fire drills to shuffle around employees (akin to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic). Office space is actively ignored outside of renovated CEO space and a single other floor. No clear guidance or motivation to return to the office. The era of a "great place to work" is now history.

inconsistent in the management decision
