Pros

Laid-back atmosphere Good compensation package, as the company pays government-implicted welfare expenditure on behalf of the employee. Established work process from which young graduates will benefit.

Cons

Non-engineering employees are much less valued. Employees outside of US headquarters will never get rated fairly performance-wise when compared to the counterparts in the US. Immediate managers don't appreciate self-motivated team members but followers Absence of internal promotion mechanism.

Pros

NI is a very employee focused company. The ELP program in particular is a fun place to work with an almost frat-house like culture. Austin can't be be as far as living in a cool city.

Cons

There is a major consensus based decision making culture and the company is extremely conservative with risk. As a result, some very ambitious or entrepreneurial type personalities may get frustrated.
