New round of layoff

Today, NI President Ritu Favre announced another round of layoffs. This time, NI employees in the Americas, Europe, and Asia will be affected. No word on the number of positions affected. Affected employees will receive an invitation tonight (US)... — read more 

It's not over yet !

It has been widely communicated within NI this week, that a France-based R&D site will entirely close this year. I’m curious whether we’ll witness the first strike at NI!

Why are you still at NI?

The way they under pay employees is criminal. A nice campus, cafes, gym, doctors office, and deck parties do not in any way justify the atrocious pay scale. I know multiple employees who were laid off only to find new jobs at significantly higher... — read more

It is number that drives the decision

Top talent is not immune to layoffs. I was a top performer and had the #’s to back it up. I was paid more and older than the average, plus my specific focus area and position was outsourced. So, take your pick of any three. In the end, it’s a... — read more

Growing a career

I had many ambitions before I came here. Now I wonder if it’s just me or is this company not a place where it is possible to grow a decent career?

Hiring Freeze

The number of job openings on the website were over 400 a few weeks ago and now sitting at around 230. When will the other jobs be unfrozen?

I’m thinking about our marketing group

Someone's made a good observation that marketing people are not clear on who our target customers are. You don’t need to be a great marketing expert to see that they are doing things wrong. Worst of all, they learn nothing from their mistakes. Maybe... — read more

NI S---S

Perhaps you could've saved at least a few positions from not wasting money on renaming the company. How much did changing everything to NI cost anyway??? Nothing like laying off just before Christmas. Sending jobs to Hungary. A–holes. — read more

Did you lose trust in this leadership?

After the latest layoffs? I have. They say one thing then blindside us with something completely different. This has happened before, but never to this extent. If it was any other time I'd already be looking for a new job. This pandemic is the only... — read more

Have the cuts really been worldwide?

I haven't heard of anybody outside of the U.S. being impacted despite the last layoffs round being announced as being global. Am I wrong? If I'm not, then it just feels like we are always the ones who get the short end of the stick every time when it... — read more

An appeal to ni board to discharge its fiduciary duty

The current state of ni mirrors a "circus on a treadmill" - a stationary journey causing the entire organization to be busy interlocking within rather than serving external business opportunities. At the same time, the competition zooms past gaining... — read more

Will it stop at 650?

We all knew layoffs were coming, the company has been having issues for a long time even before the pandemic arrived and made everything three times worse. I'm more worried about this being just the start. I don't want to get lulled into a false... — read more

It's getting worse at National Instruments

Things started changing in 2017 when Dr. T retired… Our new C-level-line-up is numbers oriented and everyone has become a number – the soul of the company has changed. The employees are seen as ‘expenses’ which was never the case before. Now we have... — read more
