Pros

It's a very relaxed work atmosphere and if you ever decide your current group isn't the best fit for you it's easy to switch over to a different team. This is also a great way to learn about various areas within the company.

Cons

During a recession they prefer to lower everyone's salaries rather than lay off some folks. If you think your job is pretty secure and didn't think you'd get laid off, you might consider that a negative. Also, while the code is commented very nicely, there isn't much documentation available describing the higher level functionality.

Pros

The people and the culture! Mostly very helpful, smart, fun loving group of employees. NI hired a lot for culture fit and that made the day to day a lot of fun.

Cons

Company vision from the higher ups suffered greatly after the pandemic.
