Company not willing to look at real issues of employees. Management who gets top dollars are the ones who get surveys to rate company. Lower personnel does not rate the company when they should be the ones to give reviews. Company looks for young college grads who they do not have to pay, rather than seasoned personnel who can contribute. They hold – more...  you back from positions that are attractive if you do not fall into the click. They promote you if you are with the in crowd. Good perks but not worth the headache! – less

Coming out of school it was a great place to get started. A place to get real world experience. Pay is falling behind compared to other companies and have high turn over from employees getting lured away with better pay.

Working at NI is rewarding, challenging, stimulating, you name it, they qualify as one of the "best" places to work. The culture of "teamwork" is very prevalent. Employees are encouraged to "grow" and enhance their skills.

Publicly held, Major proviser of H/W ans S/W in the Test/Measurement, and Industrial Automation industry. Company was built by engineers, for engineers.

NI is a great place to work. To those that thrive there, this means interesting projects, unmatched job security, open and honest communication from senior management, and smart and engaged coworkers. It's a pretty unique place in a world that doesn't value loyalty or long term business planning and relationships.

However, it does have an extreme negative. – more...  The pay is significantly below average. This is the trade-off you make working there. Opportunities for advancement are plentiful as the company grows, however, salary increases don't scale with responsibilities and title. After hitting the 5 year mark, many top performers begin to seek out greener pastures to make a decent salary. This keeps the company young, as it is continually replenished with new college grads. – less
