I feel sorry for NI - Anonymous employee National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

There was a time when employees used tot take pride in working at NI. Those were the times when Dr. T was around, company valued employees ( primary stakeholders right?) and in turn employees gave 200%. But things changed rapidly once the new CEO came in. He got busy pointing out mistakes made by previous management and turned things upside down. Within three months 100s of employees were fired, not for performance but for, someone else's mistakes.

Cons

If you want to learn and be a part of a fast moving company which values innovation and culture, NI is not the place. You are better off choosing 1000s of other companies. NI used to be one such place but not anymore. I wonder how Dr. T feels about this.

Pros

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.
