Pros

Work/Life Balance (but even that has been getting worse)

Cons

When I started there, the garages and virtually every cube was occupied and the place buzzed with activity and promise. It is almost a ghost town now and the culture has gone way down hill. They don't even admit to laying anyone off but they have been doing it slowly for several years. When you make the bean counter the CEO, that is what happens. Below market pay and a reluctance to adopt leading edge technology and processes in IT. They are following paths I have seen before in terms of "pay for performance" and off-shoring that are guaranteed to change the company culture in the US in irreversible ways.

Pros

The people and the culture! Mostly very helpful, smart, fun loving group of employees. NI hired a lot for culture fit and that made the day to day a lot of fun.

Cons

Company vision from the higher ups suffered greatly after the pandemic.
