National Instruments reviews

Leadership doesn't have the guts to mandate the alignment of their employees on procedures, platforms, and tool sets. It's the wild west in here; everyone's doing their own thing. Departments are highly siloed and the internal communication really, really sucks. Good luck if you have to find information and you don't know who's knows that thing you're looking for. There are no fewer than three main intranet sites you have to search through because the new platforms didn't come with a mandate to migrate the previous sites' data. And there's no guarantee the information is current because it's all crowd-sourced when someone gets the idea to actually share the information online. Promotions and added responsibilities come without a pay raise, which may happen a year or two down the road when you've "proved yourself capable." They don't do merit or cost of living raises here at all. And if you're one of the lucky few to actually get a raise, those come in October, and the performance reviews are in March. How is that effective for the employee?! Managers are actually trained to lean on voluntary attrition to trim the fat, which only results in losing our best talent. The future is looking grim.

Unstable working environment. Limited career development
