      Operational excellence is just as important as product excellence. Without one, customers may lose sight of the other.

      Pros

      In a word, people. It does hire some of the best people not only in the engineering departments but also in the Business Analyst groups. They have some of the best Business Analysts I have ever worked with and I have been a Business Analyst at various companies for over 10 years.

      Cons

      In a word, management. In my area, they didn't even know what role or tasks, not to mention the critical ways in which a Business Analyst can benefit various projects and departments via automation and how to use the existing system and processes better.

      NI Hooks You Up Early and Often with Great Opportunities

      Pros

      NI is a solid place to start your career. There is a fantastic focus on nurturing and developing talent, as well as hiring/promoting from within. Employees are also given a lot of freedom to take on their own initiatives. This combination of free and open with quality mentorship makes NI a big company that feels very small.

      Cons

      Compensation is always an issue, but I think that people feel underpaid because they compare themselves to similar titled position at other companies. The difference is that NI gives you high level positions very early on in a career, while other employers might require more tenure and advanced degrees. I am a Product Manager, a title that some people don't receive for 5-7 years after graduating (and possibly needing an MBA as well). I earned that title in three years after graduating with and undergrad degree.

      Pros

      The people. National Instruments does a great job of finding highly intelligent and dynamic people. The people I work with are my friends...not just "work friends."

      Cons

      While I'm satisfied with my salary, when I go recruiting I see what offers other companies are making. NI is defintely not the highest paying company out there. However, I feel the entire offer package including benefits, stock plans, etc, is very competitive.
