Pros

Understanding and tolerate manager. Constant respect to each other.

Cons

Maybe a too-relax environment for fresh grad as fresh grad should strive to learn as much technique and learn stress management as much as possible.

Pros

You get to work in good teams and there are some good technical leaders in the company. You get to take a lot of responsibility and along with it trust.

Cons

Sometimes the decision making process is too slow and seemed too conservative. Some managers lacked detailed and deep technical knowledge.

Pros

NI is great for graduates, it provides for a lot of training and exposure to a vast portfolio of products and technologies. There are also varied paths for progression available. The environment is great, and the people are all friendly and approachable, even in higher management.

Cons

Working hours regularly include unpaid overtime. A company shouldn't "promote" time away from your personal life this much. Also, in the UK at least, the company is plagued with lower than average salaries, and an out-of-touch HR department. If an employee needs to speak to someone about a concern at work, the HR team is probably the last people he or she would consider; mostly because of one particular person there.
