      Pros

      NI is has some of the brightest engineers in the industry and the work/life balance is very manageable. It's a great introduction to corporate work environment. Camaraderie among the employees is hard to come by elsewhere.

      Cons

      Compensation is below competitive. It seems the company has grown a bit to manage the compensation expectations of the market. There's been talk of improvements in the near future, however I can't see how realistic it is to implement retroactive raises without a huge upward swing in the T&M market.

      Teams are run like individual companies.

      Pros

      Nice campus, cafeteria, health services, and gym. They do hire great people. Fresh baked cookies every day. Fun atmosphere.

      Cons

      It's a great place to launch your career but after 2-3 years there's nothing else for you to do or learn. Teams are run like individual companies so you never know what you're going to get. Some teams insist on 50 hour work weeks other teams spend half their day surfing the internet. To get assistance outside your team you have to beg for any and all resources. Other teams aren't willing to jump in and help unless they have to.

      Pros

      Work life balance is fantastic. Great insurance. Some really good people.

      Cons

      Pay is lower than the market. Culture is great if you were hired as a college recruit but "outsiders" will never fit in. Too many Indians, not enough true Chiefs.
