Pros

Open, friendly and nurtures innovation. Austin is a wonderful place to be. NI is rapidly growing. Highly competitive selection process.

Cons

Base compensation is not the most attractive component of the offer, but the people are real friendly and make you feel part of family from day one.

Decent start as a fresher

Pros

Offers a good salary package for freshers. Relaxed work environment with flat hierarchy. Senior technical staff is very supportive in most of the teams. Since the Bangalore group has a lot of young crowd, it will be a very good experience particularly for freshers.

Cons

This view is for Bangalore group in particular. The middle management in Bangalore team sucks to the core. Managers are not technically capable of comprehending what their team is doing. The tug of war between the Bangalore team and SE team in Austin for who does what keeps going on leaving the engineers jobless at times.
