Good place to learn, bad place to earn - Staff Software Engineer National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Technical exposure. NI puts raw engineers to work on complex technical problems.

Cons

Compensation is below market, especially for more experienced employees. Entire business model consists of bringing in a bunch of college grads, let them learn and develop product immediately, and eventually replace with new college grads.

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.
