      Life in Sales

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are amazing and they know how to work hard/play hard. You get to be involved in some amazing innovative opportunities with some pretty innovative companies. Very flexible work environment with a good work life balance.

      Cons

      Very little innovation with new product in the company these days. The commission structure is structured to keep sales people randsom to perform but I guess that is the idea. It seems that a lot of the new changes in the company is demoting taking ownership and making decisions. Feel like sales is the only department in the company that gets held accountable for business performance.

      Significant Reduction in USA-Based Manufacturing & Sales Staff

      Technical sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Sales and Marketing work well together: Shadowing, mentoring, feedback sessions, and some other training provided - Good bond between Sales and Applications Engineering through good PR practices and interactions - Engineering Culture is positive & creative

      Cons

      - "The World is Flat": Public Information - All Manufacturing Operations jobs moved overseas to existing Manufacturing; as many corporations do, until that economy requests equal benefits. - The same happened in Costa Rica; see article 'National Instruments expands operations in Costa Rica, announces Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency' - Advice: Keep your resume up to date, be sure to note your accomplishments/awards & the dates, note any promotions, and put yourself on LinkedIn and make connections with your customers, so that you and they can recommend one another when needed. Hope that this helps.

      Nice Company, Not Exciting

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There were a lot of nice people, a fairly relaxed culture, and a really nice office location.

      Cons

      The company didn't show much growth and the yearly meeting was focused around convincing everyone that there wasn't a retention problem. This didn't seem like the up and coming exciting place to be, that it kept trying to convince people of.
