      Good Engineering Culture but Mediocre Pay and Benefits

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great engineering culture. Awesome place to start. NI is a place that takes engineering seriously. It's a large company with a lot of technology and all kinds of engineering roles. - Doesn't have an extreme work culture with unsustainable overtime. - No "bro" culture. - Kind people. - Decent sick and vacation allotment.

      Cons

      - NI once used to be a place with low salaries, but great benefits and rock-solid job stability. Now after multiple CEOs and a merger by another giant company, it's now a place with low salaries, ok benefits (lousy health insurance), and poor job security (multiple layoffs + outsourcing) - RTO
