Pros

Great co-workers, Great products! Great campus. Great work life balance!

Cons

Poor management: my managers change once ever year on average preventing me from advancing in my career. Also, the general quality of managers is poor. It's been my experience that they don't really know how to grow people. Poor salaries. There are too many internal systems and procedures. As a result productivity is greatly slowed down.

Solid hardware and software product platforms. Good work-life balance, work hard, play hard. Located in North Austin, which makes it an easier commute.

Salary has lots of room for improvement.

Pros

1. A great place to start your career. 2. Immense learning from peers who are ever willing to help 3. Tons of opportunities to learn from other teams

Cons

1. Compensation 2. Recognition 3. Trust I am surprised at the downward progression of a company I used to love and possibly idolize. It's a well known fact that NI pays average salaries for the market. Initially, it was OK given the overall benefits package but as the years progressed even that wasn't cutting it. The company definitely worked its way through the downturn without any layoffs. However, a lack of growth deemed as a direct correlation on the bottom line for employee compensation isn't fair on them when executives are being pumped with higher bonuses. Employer communication has gotten worse and there is definite lack of trust in management. Honestly, I feel bad about where things are after a decade of my association with NI.
