Pros

Leadership models, freedom to create and make thing new. International experiences and opportunities to work alongside other people in different countries. Many benefits noticed by customers everyday.

Cons

The same freedom that is good sometimes makes thing harder, specially when taking decisions in group. It is necessary to continuously reeducate people motivations according to company culture.

Pros

Work life balanced, usually don't need to work overtime. It's nice to start engineer career in NI with nice salary in China

Cons

Salary in NI Austin is quite below average, so the high cost for Shanghai engineer makes it less competitive, Austin doesn't take care of Shanghai branch so much, rubbish projects come to Shanghai. Practically NI is a traditional IT company, who provides test equipment and engineers working in test industry are hard to find another competitive employer especially after years of test working experience. Poor salary raise each year makes capable senior engineer leave. Poor management like state-owned company.
