Pros

NI has a great culture, focusing on a great work/life balance. Everyone who works here is smart, which makes for a pleasant experience day to day.

Cons

The pay is average for the Austin area. Engineers are always right, so they can be difficult to work with at times.

Pros

Very laid back atmosphere, at least in my department. Lots of opportunities to get involved socially with co-workers. Having a cafeteria and a gym is very convenient.

Cons

As with most large corporations, slow to adopt to new methodologies and technologies. Since the company seems to target recent college graduates for new hires, there isn't as much influx of 'how other companies are doing things'.

Pros

- Great atmosphere. - Work/Life balanced well - Encouraged to innovate. - Great benefits - On-site Doctor's office

Cons

- Salary tends to be low when compared to similar positions on glassdoor - While we used to do frequent group outings/team building activities, those have gone by the wayside (in my group at least).
