      Pros

      Working with newest hw, before it's released on the market Customers are some of the biggest names in the world Freedom to contribute with ideas on the product and to improve it; a lot of the time those will get included in the product Colleagues are enthusiastic about technology You get to feel that your work is helping shape/change/improve the world Work is fun

      Cons

      The salary sometimes lags behind the local average; this is valid for outside of Austin usually Sometimes people will get hired because of a desperate need to hire people; this ruins some of the existing social chemistry Sometimes the people that get hired get treated better than current [deserving] employees; this discussion does go into a grey area and it's something that happens in a lot of companies

      One of the best tech companies to work for

      Pros

      NI works very hard to provide an awesome work environment for its people. They also strive to be a reliable employer. They put their employees first. When other employers lay off in droves, NI hangs on, relying on cash they have consistently put away for the inevitable economic recession. The culture is very easygoing. The people and management are excellent. It's technically challenging (at least in R&D) but not overly demanding. Some companies say they encourage work-life balance, but NI lives it.

      Cons

      NI salaries are not the highest, although this is somewhat intentional since NI doesn't want to attract salary chasers who change jobs every two years. They also don't have some of the nice perks that some fast-growing tech companies have (e.g., free cafeteria, free fitness center, etc.).
