      Friendly company culture, but manager can make or break the experience.

      Pros

      National Instruments company culture and positive, upbeat self-image, which contributes to enthusiastic and friendly co-workers. Annual surveys about employee satisfaction seem to produce broad, steady improvement, and helps the company keep up with changing employee care-abouts.

      Cons

      The wrong manager can make your experience miserable. Sometimes the positive self-image leads to self-deception, and blindness to its own faults.

      Pros

      Fun, interesting, articulate people. Significant responsibility for relatively young employees. Definitely a meritocracy.

      Cons

      You will see this over and over: the pay is not great. The other benefits (health, stock, etc) are good, however.

      If You Have To Work It Might As Well Be On Something Interesting

      Pros

      I enjoy the project that I work on. I feel like I have a lot of freedom in the technical decisions that I make.

      Cons

      I think the pay could be a little better. I've been at NI for many years and I hardly make more than when I was hired (of course, I was hired right before the great economic collapse of 2008 and like almost all NI employees I didn't lose my job so.....)
