Pros

Very nice campus, great people, conservative approach, committed to investing in it's employees. Stable place to work, will go to reduction in workforce only as last resort.

Cons

Homegrown managment can be good thing but too much can limit innovation and perspective. Some of the "Spin" is annoying

Pros

Laid-back atmosphere Good compensation package, as the company pays government-implicted welfare expenditure on behalf of the employee. Established work process from which young graduates will benefit.

Cons

Non-engineering employees are much less valued. Employees outside of US headquarters will never get rated fairly performance-wise when compared to the counterparts in the US. Immediate managers don't appreciate self-motivated team members but followers Absence of internal promotion mechanism.

Pros

NI is a very employee focused company. The ELP program in particular is a fun place to work with an almost frat-house like culture. Austin can't be be as far as living in a cool city.

Cons

There is a major consensus based decision making culture and the company is extremely conservative with risk. As a result, some very ambitious or entrepreneurial type personalities may get frustrated.
