      One of the Best Companies

      Staff systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A youthful company with large growth and opportunities in a city that is good to start a career in. The vision of the company is unique and the upper management understands the need to invest in people (especially R&D). They have never had a layoff in all 31 years of the companies history.

      Cons

      The pay is lower than most other tech companies. I estimate about 5-15%. That comes from NI taking advantage of the great location and low cost of living. Also it is easy to become jaded after a few years because you forget how bad other companies can be.

      OK but some lock in

      Staff systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Love the job on the day to day basis. Get to work with lots of people in the company and outside the company and lots of technology.

      Cons

      most if not all of the technology being used is NI technology. This causes lock in... your only skills over time become NI skills. NI knows this and they don't pay very well.
