      NI is an easy and engaging workplace with a lot of great people, though they do not pay competetive salaries.

      Pros

      Easy and friendly work environment. Engaging projects and work throughout the organizations. Social and connected network of employees. Very solid and stable employer through good and bad economic times.

      Cons

      The company tends to be spread out a lot, which provides for extreme variance from manager to manager, causing some concerns about differing treatment of employees. NI also will not pay competitive salaries, and has not attempted to meet the market inflation rates or cost of living changes for employee compensation. It's a great place to work, just don't expect to grow your salary quickly, if at all.

      Pros

      Flexible working hours. Constructive and supportive functional and local managers. Organization is organic, I am able to collaborate with official functional groups across the world to get things done. I am able to communicate with local engineers and colleagues to share potential benefits using technology or fruits from my group.

      Cons

      Decision is made based on consensus across an organic organization. Based on my experience, new employee would need to invest some of their personal time to understand and gain trust from peers locally or from abroad.

      A Great Place to Start a Career

      Pros

      A great place to launch a career. Since the company is growing, there are clear paths to take your career upward. Also, since the company is focused around R&D (most of the senior manangement came from that deparartment) a clearly defined technical track is available - no need to leave an engineering position in order to achieve a promotion. Since the vast majority of incoming employees have just completed their undergraduate degrees, the company feels very young, and I've made some of my best friends in Austin from my pool of coworkers. Austin is a reason to work here in itself.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly below average. Management continues to act as if they are a small startup and continually promote a 20-40% growth message without providing clear direction how that is achievable.
