      Good place to learn, bad place to earn

      Staff software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technical exposure. NI puts raw engineers to work on complex technical problems.

      Cons

      Compensation is below market, especially for more experienced employees. Entire business model consists of bringing in a bunch of college grads, let them learn and develop product immediately, and eventually replace with new college grads.

      Great place to work

      Applications engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a very good place to start a career. You get to network and talk with a lot of engineers from many different backgrounds. There are also a lot of young talented people in the company that you get to hang out with after work. Certain projects at NI that you get to work on is very rewarding.

      Cons

      At times it really feels like you're in a cult. There are employees in the company that seriously thinks that National Instruments is the best company in the world. Although NI is a very good company to work for, it also has its own issues. Occasionally, I believe that NI can be way too frugal on expenses.

      Depending on your goals, this could be a great place to work

      Pros

      National Instruments does an outstanding job of hiring great people. All my fellow employees are great people and have been a pleasure to work with. Another benefit is it has been very easy to change jobs within the company.

      Cons

      Depending on your group, you may be on your own for growth. At times, it seems like management looks short term and does not seem to take the time to develop their employees for long term growth.
