What is the best part about your compensation package at National Instruments?
Meilleure réponse des employés
Hands down the best place to work and play!
Not much. Depressingly underpaid.
What do people at National Instruments think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Will simply bleed the company to the bone to grow profitability while revenue continues to lag. NI is good at not spending money, particularly on it's employees. It is terrible at growing revenue - there is always an excuse (Forex, PMI, largest customer screwed us over, etc). It's never the fault of senior leadership or strategy.
What part of National Instruments's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
All are having difficulties. SMU is growing fastest. Any other fast growing groups are too small to be meaningful.
What are your coworkers at National Instruments like?
Generally talented and interested in their work on the technical side. Completely inept and unproductive if ELP graduate middle managers.
What are you most excited about working at National Instruments?
Not working more than 40 hours a week. Access to interesting technology.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at National Instruments?
Encourage risk taking in R&D and reward innovative work. Remove the egalitarian mindset and allow high performers to be retained with compensation. Stop holding the shareholder triangle above all else with nonstop talk about profitability with lackluster growth. Reduce the dividend and invest in the company if it is to be an actual "growth" company. The culture for R&D is quite poor with a negative outlook.
