Great company culture!

Pros

Fun company culture for interns and full-timers. A great company campus (volleyball court, basketball court, gym, grills, natural surroundings). My favorite piece of advice from my manager was to change up my work environment from time to time, so I would sometimes work outside on the patio for an hour or two or work outside my cube in one of the lounging areas.

Cons

In my 3 months as an intern, I only really saw the good side of the company. I really enjoyed my internship with NI and highly recommend students to apply!

Pros

Great work life balance (at least in R&D), flexible schedule, good beenfits

Cons

Low compensation compared to industry standard, opportunities for growth and promotions tied strongly to your group management (you need someone fighting for you to move up, it seems)
