Pros

Some of the best plugins and products around! Great colleagues and working atmosphere.

Cons

Too many meetings for a meeting to meet about the meeting! Deceitful management with no heads up on upcoming issues! Customer base is made up of self-entitled false egos which has driven the original model that NI had in the ground. TOo much emphasis on trying to please the music novices of the worl today instead of focusing on its core based consumers. Listen to your customers!!!

Native Instruments Response

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. In our 23 years, we've evolved from being a software company to an ecosystem company to now adding a platform vision that will enable everyone to make music. We appreciate change is difficult. That said, it is change that has helped NI become the company it is today. As part of our transformation, we are also working on transforming the way we work: become more collaborative, transparent and effective.
