Pros

National Instruments is setup for career growth. They hire a lot of very talented, young engineers straight out of school, and have very good training programs. There are a lot of projects in development, so most everyone gets a chance to shine with some real design work.

Cons

There is a downside to having a lot of young engineers who need to be trained. As a senior engineer, you spend a lot of time mentoring younger people. And although most managers are very good, you can occasionally find yourself in a group with little new growth or opportunities. This can be a difficult situation - so no matter how good the company is overall, hope for a good group and manager.

Pros

Pays well, laid back work atmosphere, everyone is friendly and ready to help, lots of training provided by other ELPs.

Cons

Phone support can be a pain, but once you get the hang of it it is not so bad. Eventually you get used to it and get interesting calls.
