      One of the best places to work

      Pros

      I love the company I work for. It's consistently being voted as one of the best places to work for, from the past 14 years so that should tell that this really is a great place to work. Compensation is decent. I'm happy about my role and responsibilities. I'm able to maintain a great work life balance because of - 1. Work hours are fairly flexible. 2. Work pressure is not too high. 3. The people I work with are very nice. 4. The campus is in the middle of the city so I don't spend a lot of time commuting.

      Cons

      I don't know about other teams but I can speak for myself. I guess the work can afford to be a bit more challenging. We can also do with some more leadership in the technical ladder.

      Pros

      Work/life balance is encouraged. Coworkers are generally pretty great/smart. Work is interesting and fun.

      Cons

      Time off policies are to low Poor management - don't really understand how to grow employees and provide opportunities. Too much politics. Salaries/total compensation is low and losing ground to other technology companies

      Pros

      My department is very laid back, this isn't true of every group at NI, though. They are a fiscally conservative company, and by being so, they have never had mass layoffs. I appreciate the stable environment. Additionally, there are lots of smart, innovative, passionate people who work here. My manager makes it easy to balance work and the rest of my life. We are treated like adults and allowed to manage our time as we see fit as long as we meet deadlines.

      Cons

      Fiscally conservative also means low salaries. The promotion policy is bizarre. They will promote you, but you don't get a corresponding salary increase until you've proven yourself in your new position. There are not a lot of opportunities for career growth in my area and I have felt stuck for quite some time.
