Overall good company to work for

Senior software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Work is rewarding, especially if you work on a high visibility projects. - Flexible schedule, but expect to work long hours to meet deadlines. - Relatively decent medical benefits, although they've been declining over the years. - Relatively stable employer.

Cons

- Poor work/life balance - Not many career opportunities available unless you start as an application engineer. Promotion beyond senior depends on whether you have the opportunity to work on high visibility projects. - Substandard pay. Don't expect bonuses even if you do good work, except for the profit sharing that everyone gets.

Good work environment

Senior test engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

NI is a great place to learn and grow. There are lots of opportunities to expand your abilities and create a new role for yourself. Everyone is hard working and there's a good sense of teamwork. NI really is on the edge when it comes to new technologies which makes it an exciting place to work.

Cons

Compensation is the biggest con. Base salaries tend to be lower than the industry average. This used to be offset by a stable environment and performance bonuses, but with company performance waning in the past few years, those perks haven't been as attractive. Also, hard work is expected, but not always rewarded. Management can be a little too fluid as folks are encouraged to seek personal growth which results in lower and mid level managers moving around a lot.
