Pros

National Instruments has a friendly work environment, solid people, and management cares about employees and treats people with respect. The company celebrates success, and does a great job sharing information about customers, products and business strategy with all employees.

Cons

Engineers are given first choice for opportunities, and can move around the company quite freely. The consensus culture slows decisionmaking and can be frustrating if you want to act quickly. The senior positions are staffed with long time employees, and the company's growth is not creating sufficient new opportunities. NI takes few risks.
