Horrible, controlling management - Anonymous employee National Instruments Employee Review

My first manager had worked here his entire career for over 15 years. He was controlling and would make us spend countless hours creating group PowerPoint slides. Very unproductive and boring work. I would be pulled into other group meetings to review costly team meeting services, as if these people had nothing better to do. Next, I find myself working for a short fellow with napoleonic syndrome. He would also make us create videos and presentations all week. He also worked here his entire career. I finally got fed up with the inbred culture and pushed back on all their ridiculousness. So happy to leave this dreadful and boring culture. The sale team thought they were a gift to this world.
