Pros

Work-life balance. Shaded parking. Health facility on campus. NI sponsors non-work related activities like volleyball, basketball, tennis, and golf leagues. The training and mentoring for new engineers is top notch.

Compensation rate plateaus, even if contribution rate does not.

Pros

The office is casual. People wear shorts and flip flops. They have deck parties with food and beer/wine. It is a very friendly place to work. NI Week is fun. The work-life balance is really good. The hours are flexible. The job security is good. Management is transparent about business's operations and tries to have good messaging. Benefits are good, not great.

Cons

The pay just isn't there. Is is significantly behind market rate/other jobs in the area. Being a large established company, if can sometimes be frustrating trying to innovate. Old systems and people comfortable with the status quo can get in the way. The consensus-driven culture is nice, but makes decisions drag on and on. Recently, some new policies have been put in place that can make career advancement difficult.
