National Instruments Software Developer reviews

-lower than average pay -no room for career advancement -no official telecommuting policy -slow, conservative decision making processes -poor middle management made up by talented employees -cult-like behaviour with the "NI Way" leading to a lack of objectiveness about NI products especially in choosing the best resources or tools for projects -promotion almost exclusively internally, even when internal candidates are unsuitable -no official training. Google is where you train yourself in this company. -no incentive for performance as annual bonus is the same across the board and raises are at inflation -slow to move to new technologies -open cubicles, leading to constant distraction and zero privacy -international company that has yet to figure out how to manage and coordinate international branches properly -less than average vacation days to start (2 weeks)

Low pay, raises just keep up with inflation. Also favoritism in management when promoting or giving raises. Employee feedback is not taken into account to improve this issue.
