      Pros

      - Learn a lot - Many opportunities to grow - Excellent atmosphere - Lots of training - Excellent experience if you want to market yourself for another job

      Cons

      The salary they offer is acceptable. It could be a bit higher in my opinion.

      Good internship, fun place to work (at least for 3 months)

      Software engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As an intern, I got to work on a technically challenging project that was crucial to the success of a real product, which doesn't always happen at all internships. My group manager and "mentor" (a more senior engineer that helped me with my project) were both very accommodating people, and I never felt awkward about asking them for help or direction. I think the culture is very, very laid back and open, which is a big plus for creating an environment that people would enjoy working in.

      Cons

      The pay seems to be a bit lower than other computer engineering companies. As an intern, the pay was more than enough for someone still in college, but it seems that full-time salaries are a bit lower than other top companies. I didn't really have too many bad experiences there, but it does seem that there is a lot of HR propaganda that NI is the best place to work in the world and that people are using their products to make the world a better place and all other types of idealistic jargon. However, if that's the worst thing I can say about a company, I guess that's not a bad thing.

      Good place to learn, bad place to earn

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technical exposure. NI puts raw engineers to work on complex technical problems.

      Cons

      Compensation is below market, especially for more experienced employees. Entire business model consists of bringing in a bunch of college grads, let them learn and develop product immediately, and eventually replace with new college grads.
