      Pros

      It's not a strict corporate atmosphere. I feel like I am working with good, excited people. Management truly seems to value employee job satisfaction.

      Cons

      Pay is only OK. It can be difficult to reach consensus at times. Projects vary greatly in importance and impact to the company.

      Pros

      NI provides an easy transition from college to the professional workforce with a fun and challenging work environment. They hire talented and interesting employees which creates a fun culture.

      Cons

      Low pay. Limited growth opportunity. Inexperienced management who promote more strongly biased to personal relationships rather than performance metrics.
