National Instruments – “Good company to work for, but don't expect a high salary”

Pros

Great company culture, great place to learn as your first job out of college. Never had to work a day of overtime in my time with the company. Co-workers are friendly and professional.

Cons

Management treats everyone's worth as equal and does not value important talent. As a result the pay is relatively poor compared the other companies. A pay cut was instated globally even though in certain economies (China for example) the financial situation was not as dire.

Advice to Senior Management

Give employees more money! That's really what most people care about. If management don't pay what talented employees are worth, they will quickly lose lots of talented workers, as they are right now.
