National Instruments reviews about "work environment"

Very consensus driven. This is both good and bad. On the one hand, everyone's feedback is gathered and considered, but on the other hand there tend be 'lurking approvers' who seem to have made a career out of torpedoing decisions at the last possible moment. Id expect this (and worse) at most workplaces, and it is fairly easily managed once you pick out the repeat offenders whose ego tends to make them quite predictable. Promotions beyond a certain level become more of a popularity contest, dependent on how much your manager 'cheer-leads' for you.

"Culture" too often used to excuse below-average compensation and recognition. Stable employment outlook also means "dead wood" often isn't eliminated. Management often places too much value on the appearance of effectiveness vs. the reality of it.

Low compensation, limited career growth, political environment, active effort to manage mediocre performers out which shifted the work to those who left

Salary is on the lower side of the scale, specially in branches outside US, they ask for the best and brightest, expect performance as top notch executives but payment is dissapointing.

Some do not consider the salaries to be comparable to similar opportunities available at other companies, including the offered benefits.

poor management stability. Low in salary :)

Mediocre pay, not feeling like contributing to the company (working in eCommerce)

Although the work/life balance was in general, sometimes the work could take over. There were a number of times that I had to stay late without any notice to help solve a problem.

Salary is below average and there are not many opportunities for advancement.
