National Instruments reviews

Confusing management structure. A bit "Ra Ra" at times.

Upper management is uninterested in what is really going on in the company and seem very disconnected from their employees. There is poor regular communication between upper/mid management that provides the level of detailed information needed for the worker bees who actually perform the work to do their jobs well. Attrition is also currently very bad and the previous loyalty and engagement that the company used to have is gone. All jobs are being offshored and it is a rotation of just getting stuff done to keep the lights on without regard to how the resulting systems/assets will be maintained or how useful and purposeful the work is. This is really no different from other big companies. Overall for a big company it is a good place to work (although the pay seems a little lower than other Austin based big companies.)
