National Instruments reviews

You can be confused at the management structure at the very beginning, especially as a new employee. But gradually, I start to figure out the advantages of current managing structure. This can help company keep productive while value people at the same time.

There's a "fake it till you make it" strategy that is pushed at all levels. After working there for a couple years you realize that most of the people around you are faking it and with no real guidance the potential improvement is very limited. Second, the company pretends like they have an altrustic mission statement to help engineers and scientists but it's all a ploy. Their only goal is profit. Look at their strategy - They're divesting in universities and learning institutions, they're offshoring anything they can (like support) to Costa Rica, and they're focusing on their big money makers. I don't fault them, but it was painful listening to management say one thing and do another.
