Business Outlook

Pros

NI is a great place to begin your career and gain valuable technical experience. Recent college graduates are given high levels of project responsibility. Within National Instruments there are quite a few directions you could take your career, as the company does work in many different areas. In addition, Austin is a beautiful place to live, offering something for everyone.

Cons

The compensation at National Instruments lags behind comparable jobs. Most employees at Microsoft are in their 20's or early 30's. Unless you are on track for management, this is not a company you should plan to stay at late into your career.
