Pros

Working environment is ecxellent. The company does care about employees in terms of health and personal balance. There is no discrimination. Managers and supervisor's doors are always open. You get to learn a lot because National Instruments invests a lot on training. It's also good if you like to travel.

Cons

If you are not an engineer is not so easy to change position. Compensation is below avarage.

Pros

Freedom at work and opportunities to innovate and learn. Great responsibilities are showered

Cons

Management is not effective and is too egocentric. Does not evaluate on the basis of work but on the compliance of the employee with respect to the upper management. No methods to screen the performance. No rewards for performance. Its too centric towards the Managing director and doesnot function like a company but like a family business.

Pros

The office is casual. People wear shorts and flip flops. They have deck parties with food and beer/wine. It is a very friendly place to work. NI Week is fun. The work-life balance is really good. The hours are flexible. The job security is good. Management is transparent about business's operations and tries to have good messaging. Benefits are good, not great.

Cons

The pay just isn't there. Is is significantly behind market rate/other jobs in the area. Being a large established company, if can sometimes be frustrating trying to innovate. Old systems and people comfortable with the status quo can get in the way. The consensus-driven culture is nice, but makes decisions drag on and on. Recently, some new policies have been put in place that can make career advancement difficult.
