      Pros

      Some very smart engineers The CEO is modest and approachable Somewhat flexible schedules Some great people in general Location is good

      Cons

      Middle management is inexperienced and incompetent Unlike the CEO, the rest of the senior management is not modest and approachable Smarter people usually leave after a few years of service because they get burnt out by the unfair treatment and by the increasing politics It's definitely, and by far, not one of the "best places to work", there are some 100% true believers who keep voting extremely positively in the surveys Unlike what you're told, pay is really bad if you stay there long enough after school

      Good place to work. Pay is below average -- too bad too, because NI is losing a lot of experienced talent.

      Pros

      I'm young, and almost everyone else there is young. So if your about the age of "just out of college" you should fit right in. It's a pretty laid back place to work with a lot of bright people.

      Cons

      Easy, the pay. I feel I have made major contributions and have even received company recognition (and performance bonuses). However, even though I feel I have been given above average pay raises compared to other employees, I still find my salary about average compared to the industry. If I wasn't a top performer, I would be very dissatisfied with my salary. Even so, I feel the need to explore other options, solely for compensation reasons. I have seen others here that have been here around ten years and I don't really see much of an improvement in lifestyle compared to what I am at currently. I do think the company has a better time retaining management than the engineers...

      Pros

      Cool products, good benefits, generally a positive enthusiastic attitude, very few people at the company don't "tow the line"

      Cons

      Poor work/life balance, mediocre salary, senior management isn't well diversified
