Pros

NI has always done a tremendous job of assembling very talented people who are great to work with. The work life balance has always been very good.

Cons

While many of the execs think NI is a meritocracy, it is not. Style is often rewarded over substance and results. The pay has typically lagged the market. NI hasn't hit it's 18% profitability goal since 2000. Without consistent, double digit growth, the culture at NI will take a hit.
