      Small, stable, good work culture

      Pros

      The work Culture is good. Work life balance is good. There are no restrictions on timings. Since the company is still small, you will get lot of opportunities to grow.

      Cons

      Old technologies are used. You may not find work to be interesting. Many other companies pays better salaries for the same set of talents that are present. Opportunities for going abroad is too minimum.

      Great place to work

      Pros

      Work with smart people. Good work environment. Good hours. Interesting work. Very steady employer (no layoffs). Good location.

      Cons

      Pay is mediocre. Promotions/recognition are dependent on what team you're on. If you are on a low-profile team, you won't be seen.

      Good place to work. Pay is below average -- too bad too, because NI is losing a lot of experienced talent.

      Pros

      I'm young, and almost everyone else there is young. So if your about the age of "just out of college" you should fit right in. It's a pretty laid back place to work with a lot of bright people.

      Cons

      Easy, the pay. I feel I have made major contributions and have even received company recognition (and performance bonuses). However, even though I feel I have been given above average pay raises compared to other employees, I still find my salary about average compared to the industry. If I wasn't a top performer, I would be very dissatisfied with my salary. Even so, I feel the need to explore other options, solely for compensation reasons. I have seen others here that have been here around ten years and I don't really see much of an improvement in lifestyle compared to what I am at currently. I do think the company has a better time retaining management than the engineers...
