Great Technology BUT i was in the wrong team.

Pros

- Great IT systems to function independently as an AE - R&D counterparts are rather brilliant in technical competence - Documentation and technical articles are well presented online that befits a cutting edge technology firm - Apparently, customers i communicated with are willing to work with you.

Cons

- Team that i was working with has zilch technical knowledge. e.g asked an engineer whether he knows what is firmware and he said no. Actually, it is fine not to know, perhaps i have higher expectations of an engineering degree holder - AE turnover rate was high. --> i guess that speaks for itself - Senior staff exude the impression that they know it all - A higher executive staff employed his family member as a part-timer and working in the same office. --> in my opinion that is conflict of interest.

Pros

NI is overall a good corporate citizen and takes care of it's employees and more importantly they try to make a positive impact on the communities where they do business

Cons

There is a lot more that the company could do to take care of employees and serve the community, though they are strong in these areas, they need more continuous improvement
