"NI hires the best and the brightest, creates a great work environment and develops rewarding careers for our employees," said Dr. James Truchard, CEO, president and cofounder of National Instruments. "NI's long-term management approach, known as the 100-year plan, recognizes that our employee success directly impacts our key stakeholder's success and is critical to NI's overall success."
FORTUNE has named NI among the nation's "100 Best Companies to Work For" for the past 14 years and the Great Place to Work Institute has recognized NI branches including Costa Rica, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the U.K.
NI employees make products that accelerate productivity, innovation and discovery for engineers and scientists solving the world's grand challenges. Because of NI employees' work building the tools of scientific discovery, customers are working to break the world land-speed record, monitor smart grids more efficiently and launch rockets into space.
"Our employees are our greatest competitive differentiator," said Mark Finger, vice president of human resources at National Instruments. "Repeatedly receiving this type of recognition both globally and nationally reinforces our commitment to creating meaningful jobs for our employees and our commitment to providing the best engineering tools to our customers."
As NI has grown to nearly 7,000 employees in 50 countries, the company's culture has spread beyond Austin headquarters to each of the branch offices. NI invests in its people and is committed to being a stable employer despite trying economic times.
