      Good but not great

      Applications engineering specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture, challenging meaningful work, great people, fun young and active employees, management is helpful and mindful to help develop individuals not just as employees but as engineers with career paths.

      Cons

      The pay is not competitive compared to peers-in-industry. The company has grown to the size where individual contributions are not amply rewarded, and there is little to no incentive to perform unless you are in sales. Raises are scarce as the company is continually "cautiously optimistic" with projections and budget allowances. To get paid here, you have to have an impressive resume (notable industry experience) and know how to negotiate with your manager. NI makes for a great first and third job.

      Pros

      Job stability. Decent start pay and great benefits. Great learning experience.

      Cons

      If you do not have a 4 year degree, you will go nowhere. Marketing is the place to be. Butt kissing is the key to success here. Honest work and performance count for little. No raises for a few years. appear to be dumbing down the professional service NI used to offer their customers by the Technical Sales department. Customers complaints are unheard. And somehow, management thinks it's the Representatives fault for not conveying the new structure to the customer. They do not want to hear that the customer wants to speak to their loyal service provider, that has been supporting them over the years, directly. This used to be such a great company. Lack in monetary compensation was offset by happy customers, perks, respect from management and comfortable work environment.
