      Great place to start career especially if you are an engineer but don't know exactly what you want to do once you gradua

      Pros

      Besides vacation the employee benefits were the best of all my other options. The employee stock purchasing plan and 401k matching are also very good. NI is a very conservative company which is good on one hand, because of the stability it affords the employees. During my time at NI I've been able to find different avenues for developing my talents and skills.

      Cons

      The ELP department is a great place for engineering majors to start a career especially if they have not yet established what exactly they want to do with their careers, however after some time you become over qualified for essentially a glorified support role.

      Good starter for EE and CS only

      Pros

      The lack of experienced employees allows for a lot of opportunities for young employees. There's also not as much bureaucracy as other tech employers.

      Cons

      They hire engineering majors other than EE and CS through the ELP program. This program gives you excellent opportunities in the company, but very few skills that translate to other employers.
