Tenure over experience and results - Avis employé Individual Contributor National Instruments

Lots of leadership without experience outside of NI or even within the field/area they lead. Lots of nepotism and politics that can play to your favor if you play the game, but bite you if you don’t. They promote tenure with the company (not credentials/qualifications or actual experience) and if you mess up in one department and are one of the “favored ones,” you’ll just get promoted to another area of the business, whether or not you know anything about it. Accountability is pretty much unheard of and lack of experienced leadership really hurts the productivity of the teams and employees who actually have to execute and do the work to run the business.
