      Pros

      You can learn a lot in your field as you are exposed to opportunities. As with any opportunities you get what you put into it. At least at NI you can get them.

      Cons

      R&D management constantly make business decisions over customer impact too often. If you are raised through NI, you are told you are the "best and the brightest", even though you have no experience. So those who come in with experience run into a lot resistance and have to prove themselves more than the the "best and brightest".

      Pros

      Very nice and smart people. Good place for a beginner. Everybody, including the managers, are very friendly.

      Cons

      Slower career growth and payment should be higher. Not a lot of perks.

      Pros

      Management tries to be open, honest, flexible Company is generally stable due to financial model. As with any growing company, there are pain points and opportunities Several very technical leaders Great people to work with / culture of knowledge sharing, not hiding knowledge for fear of losing job security.

      Cons

      Sometimes management is overly optimistic / altruistic. Career opportunities from applications engineering to R&D are still a very big pain point. Tangible benefits (e.g. salary) on low side as a consequence of aforementioned business decisions to remain stable.
