Pros

NI provides a lot of structure to employees. I hadn't necessarily had a ton of experience and the on-boarding process was formalized and easy to learn.

Cons

If you're not an engineer it's tough to be respected by them. All executive leadership have technical backgrounds and opportunity for advancement is slow. As much as they say they promote internal promotion, there are very long expected transition times. Raises are very regimented, I was given a promotion and never received a raise due to the timing of the calendar. Big reason that i left.
