Pros

Lovely people to work with and always on the edge of technology. The opportunities are never boring and there's a great reward helping other engineers solve problems.

Cons

The salaries and raises are not in line with the amount of praise given when you do your job well.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Great people with various backgrounds (great place if you are a Maker). Good benefits. Great culture. The CEO is a real down-to-earth kind of guy. You'll see him parking next to you in the parking lot, and in line with you in the cafeteria.

Cons

NI has been below average in salaries. I don't like that they claim they above average when really they don't.

Pros

If you join straight out of college, you'll meet a lot of people your age and make friendships that will last a long time. They make it a very easy transition from college life to professional life. Drinking at your desk is fine, and overall the company supports a lot of alcohol related activities.

Cons

Benefits are awful. Salary sucks, healthcare is garbage, and raises and spot bonuses are a joke. They will constantly remind you how great NI is to work for, and how lucky you are to have a job, but the reality is that the fun culture they once had is gone. Additionally, 90% of the companies in Austin have an "Austin Culture", so there's nothing unique about working at NI. The brainwashing at NI is strong.
