Pros

I have no regrets working for NI. The community is fantastic, and here, work/life balance is king if you take advantage of it. -Most people you deal with are competent (in my experience) -Have an appointment? “Bye, I have an appointment this afternoon”* -Have to leave early to catch a flight? “Bye, I have a flight to catch”* -Awesome benefits: 401k, ESPP, Bonus -Deck parties, six flags -Cool (but not too cool) technologies *Results may vary based on team/manager/commitments

Cons

Everyone says salary, and while it’s true that we’re below ‘industry standard’, I feel that management is actively trying to address it (via larger raises, performance bonus, etc), and honestly the working environment is so nice I’d say it’s worth it.

Pros

Fantastic company culture. HR and top executives truly care about employees and are continuously looking for ways to improve employee satisfaction and employee compensation as well as career paths for long-term employees.

Cons

Great culture also comes with a con: sometimes people are too nice to disapprove of bad strategies or bad ideas. And it can take longer to execute projects that would otherwise be done faster. I wouldn't say is a fast moving environment and I would like to see more entrepreneurial spirit and innovation being rewarded and encouraged.
