Pros

NI is really flexible and lets you work around your life, not live around your work. The work is challenging. There's not a lot of bureaucracy. Employees drive a lot of the decisions and are given a lot of responsibility. Zero micromanaging in my management chain.

Cons

The pay is below average and the vacation accrual is well below average. The work is sometimes mundane, despite being challenging.

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.
