      Lower than average pay, good work life balance

      Pros

      Fun place to work (mostly). There are a few folks that don't seem to fit in and you wonder why they are there but for the most part people are smart and fun to work with. Work life balance / casual / cool projects.

      Cons

      two words: LOW pay. There's a general consensus of dissatisfaction with compensation amongst the rank and file. People learn to live with it and perceive they are subsidizing culture with low pay. Also - mgmt needs to revisit the company bonus formula.

      Experience at NI

      Pros

      The company culture is great! Fun, intelligent, outgoing co-workers and understanding managers. The company is understanding when it comes to time off and does not limit use of cell phones or internet browsing.

      Cons

      Vacation time cannot be carried over from year to year. Salaries are far too low!! No one has private offices.. all cubicles.

      Good place to work and learn out of school, mediocre pay

      Pros

      Good projects for those straight out of school Laid-back atmosphere C-level management is very competent and personable

      Cons

      Pay compression for engineering roles Low pay "Favorites" receive disproportional priase/quicker promotions for equivalent work compared to others. This is probably present in all companies but is blatantly obvious at NI.
