      National Instruments is a good place to work and grow.

      Pros

      It's a very relaxed work atmosphere and if you ever decide your current group isn't the best fit for you it's easy to switch over to a different team. This is also a great way to learn about various areas within the company.

      Cons

      During a recession they prefer to lower everyone's salaries rather than lay off some folks. If you think your job is pretty secure and didn't think you'd get laid off, you might consider that a negative. Also, while the code is commented very nicely, there isn't much documentation available describing the higher level functionality.

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

      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.
