Is this your company?

Not bad, but could use some work - Senior Software Engineer National Instruments Employee Review

Pros

One of the best reasons is the location: Austin TX, home of the University of Texas. As an extension of the location is the overall company culture: relatively laid-back and loose, yet professional. The benefits package (401 K, health) are very competitive and appealing in these times of growing health costs - especially true for health coverage. Mobilizing the employees themselves to recruit new grad candidates is also a plus, as the process allows the younger and senior engineers/employees to promote the culture and select among _best and the brightest. Finally, the technology is simply cool - if you are into that sort of thing.

Cons

Lately, the company scaled down on stock grants, but it really did not accompany that with some sort of adjustment of the total compensation package to persist how equitable the employees are.

Pros

The people and the culture! Mostly very helpful, smart, fun loving group of employees. NI hired a lot for culture fit and that made the day to day a lot of fun.

Cons

Company vision from the higher ups suffered greatly after the pandemic.
