National Instruments reviews about "work environment"

Pay is only OK. It can be difficult to reach consensus at times. Projects vary greatly in importance and impact to the company.

Resistant to ideas that are not internally grown.

below average compensation, below average work-life balance for managers, leadership lack perspective

Hard to move up. Very slow to increase pay. Often stuck in their ways. Their fast growth has caused some jam-ups with employee retention and promotion. In recent years, decisions that were good for shareholders were not so good for employees.

Salaries are on the low-end. Company bonus was insignificant this year.

Salary that cannot follow inflation and the increasing cost of living in Austin.

the pay is not as great as other companies in the same field. The company is growing a lot and is becoming slower in the decision process

Salary in NI Austin is quite below average, so the high cost for Shanghai engineer makes it less competitive, Austin doesn't take care of Shanghai branch so much, rubbish projects come to Shanghai. Practically NI is a traditional IT company, who provides test equipment and engineers working in test industry are hard to find another competitive employer especially after years of test working experience. Poor salary raise each year makes capable senior engineer leave. Poor management like state-owned company.
