Great place to start at

Pros

The projects are very interesting and enjoyable to work on. The benefits are good, and the opportunities to learn new things when you start are many. I get to wear shorts everyday and occasionally drink beer at work functions. Talk about nice culture. There are decent opportunities for career growth. The CEO, CFO, and other executives are pretty great. They've been able to weather two recessions now without any layoffs.

Cons

It seems like the company is currently going through some growing pains. I'm sure they will eventually work through it, but the company isn't really growing. Salary quickly falls behind the industry average after a few years of employment.

An Above Average Job

Staff software engineer

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

NI is very flexible with your schedule. I never feel guilty showing up a little late for work, taking a long lunch, etc. As long as I put in my 40 hours, I don't get hassled. The work is interesting. Sometimes it is so interesting that I put in extra hours because I want to, not because I'm expected to. The people are extremely smart and you will learn a lot. The work is challenging so there is a lot to learn. For the most part, management is pretty capable and transparent.

Cons

Salary is poor. Raises are poor. Promotions come with little or no extra money. Benefits are average.

Pros

Good salaries. Management is fast to react. Very nice environment. Nice people to work with who are helpful.

Cons

Not so easy to advance in career, if you start with an acceptable salary you most likely won't earn much more even if you take a further step in your career. Even if you apply for a job with "Software Engineer" you may end up as tester of service desk agent. Software Engineer means every possible IT job for them.
