      Pros

      National Instruments is a very innovative company that's on the technological edge. In general, the working environment is great. The people are mostly great to work with.

      Cons

      If you're not an engineer, you're a second-class employee, end of story. NI has always lagged on salaries, even for engineers, that's why they hire them young and feed them kool-aid. If you don't have an engineering degree, your salary will be even less competitive and you will get less respect, even for the work in your field of expertise.

      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.
