Pros

Working with advanced technology and a lot of really talented engineers. Company culture facilitates open communication and innovation. Its a stable business that still grows and provides opportunities.

Cons

It is a great place to start and launch a career. After 5-8 years there is no clear career path to continue building on. Management has a goal to address that though.

Pros

NI is great at allowing someone who just started to take on major projects that will get them lots of visibility from within the higher management. It doesn't feel like you have to work here very long to make a difference

Cons

Because of the projects and workloads, a lot of the time, you will work more than a 40 hour work week just to get your work done on time
