Pros

I get to solve complex engineering issues with some of the most motivated and genuine people I've ever met. I enjoy coming to work every day, and appreciate how there are pretty much no barriers between us and management.

Cons

Can't really think of any cons. You'll see a lot of complaints that the base salary is 'below market value' but I feel that the overall compensation package is well worth it.

Pros

NI has always done a tremendous job of assembling very talented people who are great to work with. The work life balance has always been very good.

Cons

While many of the execs think NI is a meritocracy, it is not. Style is often rewarded over substance and results. The pay has typically lagged the market. NI hasn't hit it's 18% profitability goal since 2000. Without consistent, double digit growth, the culture at NI will take a hit.
