People that leave seem to be exceptionally bitter and disingenuous about their time at NI. We still are battling a lot of the challenges of early stage companies because our industry and products are so new. Yet people don't necessarily join with the expectations of working at a startup anymore given how big we are and how long we have been around. Some hires just don't work out because they have difficulty adapting to an environment that has to be fluid and responsive to a rapidly changing industry.

A few series of layoffs in the past has poisoned the culture. First round of layoffs: configuration analysts to hire more engineers/product Second round of layoffs: engineers/product to hire more sales Perhaps the next round of layoffs will be sales to hire more configuration analysts! This is all due to upper management's poor decisions and laziness. The "officer" level people are truly incompetent and make horrible decisions and barely ever work. VP or higher level people ("upper management") make up about 25% of the company. I feel like everyone is upper management and there aren't enough people who actually do work. I honestly have no idea what my manager's boss (VP level) did at the company. Lastly, the company is not doing well at all. The company size has halved in the last 2 years. Also, pay is low, but that's offset by the great work/life balance in my opinion.
