      Pros

      NI is a very employee focused company. The ELP program in particular is a fun place to work with an almost frat-house like culture. Austin can't be be as far as living in a cool city.

      Cons

      There is a major consensus based decision making culture and the company is extremely conservative with risk. As a result, some very ambitious or entrepreneurial type personalities may get frustrated.

      Pros

      Pays well, laid back work atmosphere, everyone is friendly and ready to help, lots of training provided by other ELPs.

      Cons

      Phone support can be a pain, but once you get the hang of it it is not so bad. Eventually you get used to it and get interesting calls.

      Pros

      The employees are enthusiastic coming in. You do get the opportunity to take control. The ELP program is fairly relaxed and can be a good introduction into the company. The benefits package is about average. the company sponsored move saves a headache for anyone out of town but do not take the relocation money.

      Cons

      The pay is WAY below average for anyone with more than a bachelor's degree. In fact, you will get paid less than the national average for someone with a B.S. They tout the working environments but they have already issued pay cuts and the new hires are getting the shaft because of the economy. NI touts itself as putting the employees first but the employees are taking it just as rough as most other IT firms in this economy and they were hardly getting paid what they deserved before all of the cutbacks. Good for experience, but there are secretaries that like their job, only have a high school education and will be earning as much as you in 10 years.
