Good place to start career, but limited long-term career growth opportunities - Staff Software Engineer National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Most employees are very smart, friendly, and easy to work with. Communication from management to employees is generally open, detailed, and timely. The company is very stable and profitable, which is very important these days.

Cons

National Instruments is a great place to start a career. You can learn a lot by working directly on a number of projects. However, there are very limited opportunities to grow your career beyond entry-level engineering positions. The management structure changes very little over time, and many of the same habits (both good and bad) are continued over the long-term.

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.
