Pros

NI provides a good work/life balance along with a relaxed work environment. They provide interesting work that keeps it's employees busy at all times. NI is lenient when things come up, demonstrating a good understanding that life happens.

Cons

From my perspective the biggest con about with working at this company is that they pay considerably less than industry average, somewhere between 10 - 20% less. From what I hear, it's across the board and not just in one discipline.
