Is this your company?

Strong culture and relaxed environment, but those are used as excuses for too many other things. - Senior Software Engineer National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Relaxed working environment and good work/life balance; stable employment outlook.

Cons

"Culture" too often used to excuse below-average compensation and recognition. Stable employment outlook also means "dead wood" often isn't eliminated. Management often places too much value on the appearance of effectiveness vs. the reality of it.

Pros

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.
