You will learn a lot. However, at a great cost.

Pros

There is a good reason for NI being called one of the best companies to start a career as an engineer. Although everything will be based on NI software (LabVIEW, Veristand, Teststand, Diadem, etc.), and NI hardware, words cannot express how much I have learned during my tenure at NI.

Cons

if you seek work-life balance, you are quite out of luck here. Also, the compensation is not the highest. Company benefits and environment seem to worsen, as time passes by.
