Business Outlook
Pros
Laid back environment, intelligent coworkers. Management does a reasonable job of communicating things from the top on down. 40 hour work week is typical. Good place for an engineer with a family. Benefits, despite shrinking in value over the years, are still pretty good.
Cons
Still thinks it's a small company when it's not. Steady erosion of benefits over the years. The gap between the individual contributors and the management continues to grow. The profit sharing formula is insulting. No one realistically expects that NI will ever see 40% growth. Ever. Again. Bonuses in general are kind of a joke.
