National Instruments Senior Programmer Analyst reviews

Benefits are awful. Salary sucks, healthcare is garbage, and raises and spot bonuses are a joke. They will constantly remind you how great NI is to work for, and how lucky you are to have a job, but the reality is that the fun culture they once had is gone. Additionally, 90% of the companies in Austin have an "Austin Culture", so there's nothing unique about working at NI. The brainwashing at NI is strong.

Not competitive compensation, riddled with methodical-thinking people all around, was an "NI family", now a big corporate losing the original agility. Terrible talent retention, definition of "key employees" doesn't go below VP level.
