      Great place to start at

      Pros

      The projects are very interesting and enjoyable to work on. The benefits are good, and the opportunities to learn new things when you start are many. I get to wear shorts everyday and occasionally drink beer at work functions. Talk about nice culture. There are decent opportunities for career growth. The CEO, CFO, and other executives are pretty great. They've been able to weather two recessions now without any layoffs.

      Cons

      It seems like the company is currently going through some growing pains. I'm sure they will eventually work through it, but the company isn't really growing. Salary quickly falls behind the industry average after a few years of employment.

      An Above Average Job

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NI is very flexible with your schedule. I never feel guilty showing up a little late for work, taking a long lunch, etc. As long as I put in my 40 hours, I don't get hassled. The work is interesting. Sometimes it is so interesting that I put in extra hours because I want to, not because I'm expected to. The people are extremely smart and you will learn a lot. The work is challenging so there is a lot to learn. For the most part, management is pretty capable and transparent.

      Cons

      Salary is poor. Raises are poor. Promotions come with little or no extra money. Benefits are average.
