Slightly lower than average pay. Could've used more time off (but that's true of almost any job).

Pros

- Colleagues are mostly young, enthusiastic and innovative. - Relatively casual work environment. - Products and industry have longevity.

Cons

- Expect personnel to conform to existing processes. - Not open to critique or questioning of processes. - Opportunities to advance or move to different departments not based on performance but based on "likeability". - Pay is low compared to industry standards.

Pros

Great work environment filled with motivated, helpful people. NI has great products that are truly innovative. I've enjoyed my interactions with all levels of management that I've worked with and love the NI Culture.

Cons

I sometimes feel like expectations are a little unrealistic but I get that we're being stretched. NI is a little lagging when it comes to salary standards but they're making changes to improve the compensation levels.
