Pros

- Work is rewarding, especially if you work on a high visibility projects. - Flexible schedule, but expect to work long hours to meet deadlines. - Relatively decent medical benefits, although they've been declining over the years. - Relatively stable employer.

Cons

- Poor work/life balance - Not many career opportunities available unless you start as an application engineer. Promotion beyond senior depends on whether you have the opportunity to work on high visibility projects. - Substandard pay. Don't expect bonuses even if you do good work, except for the profit sharing that everyone gets.

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.
