      Bask in the Ignorance Boys

      Pros

      Senior management does not have a clue as to what's actually happening in the trenches so you're pretty much not accountable for anything. NI's awesome at sweeping things under the rug and redefining success. Blow $100k in NRE, spin the story, and you can still look like a hero!

      Cons

      Really not a place you want to be if you want to follow a career in technology. Case in point - the leadership will tout NI as having the greatest engineers in the industry. I find it ironic that there is one and only one straight up technical fellow in the company, the only one appointed in 2006. The rest of the "fellows" are really "business fellows" - guys that look good in a suit and long ago forgot how to do an integral.

      Pros

      Slow and steady culture, CEO the anchoring figure.

      Cons

      Growth slowing, executive compensation increasing; genius of the AND. Average compensation for most others.
