Is this your company?

NI's R&D is a good and reliable place to develop knowledge, skills and experience, but it develops people very slowly. - Software Engineer National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

- R&D gives a lot of responsibility to engineers of all positions, which I find very fulfilling - Strong culture aided by no fear of lay-offs and minimal politicking - Most managers are effective and not just buzzword generators - Great opportunities to get involved in the community, especially with education

Cons

- Improving, but still sub-standard infrastructure - Slow advancement - Low Starting Pay - Extremely low raises - Bonuses are calculated on an expectation of 40% organic growth

The people and the culture! Mostly very helpful, smart, fun loving group of employees. NI hired a lot for culture fit and that made the day to day a lot of fun.

Cons

Company vision from the higher ups suffered greatly after the pandemic.
