Business Outlook
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.
