Pros

Great co-workers, Great products! Great campus. Great work life balance!

Cons

Poor management: my managers change once ever year on average preventing me from advancing in my career. Also, the general quality of managers is poor. It's been my experience that they don't really know how to grow people. Poor salaries. There are too many internal systems and procedures. As a result productivity is greatly slowed down.

Pros

Easy and friendly work environment. Engaging projects and work throughout the organizations. Social and connected network of employees. Very solid and stable employer through good and bad economic times.

Cons

The company tends to be spread out a lot, which provides for extreme variance from manager to manager, causing some concerns about differing treatment of employees. NI also will not pay competitive salaries, and has not attempted to meet the market inflation rates or cost of living changes for employee compensation. It's a great place to work, just don't expect to grow your salary quickly, if at all.
