Pros

If you are a software engineer fresh out of school, you will learn a lot starting your career at NI. They expect a lot out of you, and you will get plenty of opportunities if you are willing. You will get to work on a bunch of different stuff and learn a lot. The workplace is relaxed and friendly. The work schedule is fairly flexible; that is really nice if you have kids.

Cons

Salary has been stagnant compare to rest of software industry. Lack of performance based bonus does not encourage one to perform better. Letting under-performing employees stayed too long on the job and getting paid as much as over-performing employee just because of tenure hurts morale.

Pros

Really care about their employees and the NI culture. Opportunity to work with really talented people, depending on the group you are in.

Cons

Group culture varies widely and being in the right group can make all the difference. They have let employee engagement slide quite a bit.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Great people with various backgrounds (great place if you are a Maker). Good benefits. Great culture. The CEO is a real down-to-earth kind of guy. You'll see him parking next to you in the parking lot, and in line with you in the cafeteria.

Cons

NI has been below average in salaries. I don't like that they claim they above average when really they don't.
