Stable, respectful company with decent benefits but middling compensation

Business Outlook

Pros

NI is really flexible and lets you work around your life, not live around your work. The work is challenging. There's not a lot of bureaucracy. Employees drive a lot of the decisions and are given a lot of responsibility. Zero micromanaging in my management chain.

Cons

The pay is below average and the vacation accrual is well below average. The work is sometimes mundane, despite being challenging.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours. Constructive and supportive functional and local managers. Organization is organic, I am able to collaborate with official functional groups across the world to get things done. I am able to communicate with local engineers and colleagues to share potential benefits using technology or fruits from my group.

Cons

Decision is made based on consensus across an organic organization. Based on my experience, new employee would need to invest some of their personal time to understand and gain trust from peers locally or from abroad.
