Pros

Used to be a great company

Cons

Companies that are no longer technology-oriented have lost NI's core ability to stand on the market in the pursuit of short-term returns. From the managerial level to the director level to the VP level, many interest groups have formed, creating too many internal conflicts. Even in some branches, there is a lot of collusion of interests between these interest groups and sales channels. The CEO lacks leadership and judgment, but the presentation and performance skills are top-notch.

Pros

It is a great culture right out of college. You will meet a lot of people your age and really kickstart your new life. Everyone at NI is very social.

Cons

Compensation is a constant problem. They will promise you year after year they will fix your pay. You end up doing more work and taking on more responsibilities with the “promise” to be paid fairly. When raise time comes around they ALWAYS find an excuse to not give a raise. I had colleagues who deserved 10% and got ZERO.

Pros

NI has a great history, and still a lot of smart and interesting staff

Cons

The new CEO (former CFO) does not care about the culture and the people of the company any more.
