      Do not work here

      Pros

      Loved my colleagues, made some great friends - but they shouldn't be used as a crutch for an awful job

      Cons

      You will lag behind on skills and compensation if you work here, yet somehow manage to put in way too much time to do your job. I reiterate do not work here if you have another offer as it may seem like a good idea, but you will not be anywhere near your peers in 3 years.

      Not worth sticking around for the long term.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Great place to start your career and witness how NOT to properly manage and inspire people + Relatively good work-life balance + Great location off of Mopac and near the Domain

      Cons

      - Don't stick around more than 5 years, unless you just want to coast <yawn> - Management is very "high school" cliquish, uninspiring and lacks any prior work history/experiences before joining NI - which makes it very difficult to progress your career, unless someone *finally* leaves/rotates - Very lackluster culture - this used to be its number one selling point prior to losing the Forbes Top 100 - Zero effort in trying to keep talent when there are more enticing career opportunities

      Significant Reduction in USA-Based Manufacturing & Sales Staff

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Sales and Marketing work well together: Shadowing, mentoring, feedback sessions, and some other training provided - Good bond between Sales and Applications Engineering through good PR practices and interactions - Engineering Culture is positive & creative

      Cons

      - "The World is Flat": Public Information - All Manufacturing Operations jobs moved overseas to existing Manufacturing; as many corporations do, until that economy requests equal benefits. - The same happened in Costa Rica; see article 'National Instruments expands operations in Costa Rica, announces Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency' - Advice: Keep your resume up to date, be sure to note your accomplishments/awards & the dates, note any promotions, and put yourself on LinkedIn and make connections with your customers, so that you and they can recommend one another when needed. Hope that this helps.
