      Strong culture and relaxed environment, but those are used as excuses for too many other things.

      Pros

      Relaxed working environment and good work/life balance; stable employment outlook.

      Cons

      "Culture" too often used to excuse below-average compensation and recognition. Stable employment outlook also means "dead wood" often isn't eliminated. Management often places too much value on the appearance of effectiveness vs. the reality of it.

      Not what it used to be.

      Pros

      The people here are great. The culture is still okay but not near what it used to be. Schedules are mostly flexible.

      Cons

      Low compensation is of course the number one thing NI notorious for. Management used to attempt to use "culture, great place to work, great benefits, and job security" to offset the low pay. All of those things have gone away but the pay is still low.

      Pros

      1. Lots of learning opportunity. The work here actually includes research. 2. Excellent work life balance. Maybe the best in the industry. 3. Extremely friendly environment. Everyone is approachable. You talk to ur managers as if they are ur childhood friends. 4. Excellent Culture and values. 5. Company is very stable. They have very limited market but they are leaders in their domain. They don't have to look for their competitors.

      Cons

      1. They don't differentiate between a developer and a tester. So if you are unlucky you could be put to testing team. 2. Company doesn't want to spend much on its employees. They haven't increased their joining level salary for years now. So, they cannot afford to hire people from premium institutes anymore.
