      Pros

      Nice people, Austin is an awesome place to live, technically stimulating and the overall atmosphere is very electrifying if you're a computer nerd.

      Cons

      The industry is boring. The company doesn't pay very well, in fact the pay is about 70% of industry average.

      A good company to work for straight out of college

      Pros

      NI is a great place to work straight out of college. You'll immediately be given meaningful work and a chance to contribute. Your coworkers tend to be very bright and motivated people. There are plenty of activities to get involved in if you choose. The atmosphere is generally pretty laid back though it varies from group to group. The benefits are above average.

      Cons

      Project management isn't exactly something NI excels at. Projects are often poorly defined and organized which is generally balanced by the talent of the employees. Training is largely nonexistent. Lack of experienced hires means NI reinvents the wheel on a daily basis. Salaries are below average.
