Terrible place to work, get out if you can - Anonymous employee National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Only pro is that you may find a few remnants of an innovative, exciting company, but these are hard to find.

Cons

NI is a combination of game of thrones, house of cards and The Office. The politics, backstabbing and finger pointing are no less than a riveting drama series. It's entertaining for a while but then you realize that such BS is best watched on TV only. It's a blood bath at the lower middle management, middle management, upper management, and all the other 7 layers of management. The only way to climb the ladder is by pointing out flaws in peers and self marketing the crap out of yourself. If you even think of innovation or team mentality, be ready to take daggers in your back. My advise is to run from this soul sucking company, what's keeping all of you there anyway, the pay? LOL

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.
