      Good starter for EE and CS only

      Applications engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The lack of experienced employees allows for a lot of opportunities for young employees. There's also not as much bureaucracy as other tech employers.

      Cons

      They hire engineering majors other than EE and CS through the ELP program. This program gives you excellent opportunities in the company, but very few skills that translate to other employers.

      Work at NATI

      systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is very good place to work for starting engineers and students but not for professionals. Very good product's and software you can get lot of knowledge.

      Cons

      At this company individual abilities dos not make sense only grope, for example when grope can't solve some problem and there is some person who can, they will ask you to help them and do it, but after they will say that this is theiere work and nothing to person who realy did it. There is one more problem, they will hire chemicals, economist, mathematicals and so on as an AE, after some time this AE's will became PSE, AES or SE's, but they do not have required knowledge as they are not ab specialized in this are. For example why R&D in Silicon Valley (former employee's from other company's) can develop high quality RF hardware, at same time R&D in Austin (these are mainly former AE's) can't develop even middle quality RF hardware. They need to change this practice.
