Pros

Ownership of challenging project, generous knowledge sharing among employees, flexible working hours and place where you can wear comfortably including shorts and sandals top up with a nice cool beer that makes you feels like home.

Cons

Average compensation and benefit. Local management is feedback driven upon circumstances observed rather than self-driven.

Pros

A youthful company with large growth and opportunities in a city that is good to start a career in. The vision of the company is unique and the upper management understands the need to invest in people (especially R&D). They have never had a layoff in all 31 years of the companies history.

Cons

The pay is lower than most other tech companies. I estimate about 5-15%. That comes from NI taking advantage of the great location and low cost of living. Also it is easy to become jaded after a few years because you forget how bad other companies can be.
