The Company offers a great work-life environment, a fantastic office space, and meaningful work. The people are great to work with.
Cons
Very political and cliquish, but you have that everywhere. The company does pay on the very low side of the going wages. While the company executives admit this and state they want to correct it; it will likely take 3 to 5 years for it to correct itself.
I've seen many departments over the last nearly a decade at the company and one of the big pros for NI is that you can try yourself in different situations, if you perform well they let you move around and do new things often.
Cons
Some things are just not as good as they used to be. Salaries are below the market average and seemingly this is fine with management but now when competitors on the job market provide similar freedom but higher salaries good people are leaving the company day by day. This should change.
