National Instruments Software Engineer reviews

1. Hikes and profit sharing is not great! 2. Not much of additional facilities, but considering the standards of India its ok. Most of the companies don't provide facilities.

-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)
