Pros

I have no regrets working for NI. The community is fantastic, and here, work/life balance is king if you take advantage of it. -Most people you deal with are competent (in my experience) -Have an appointment? “Bye, I have an appointment this afternoon”* -Have to leave early to catch a flight? “Bye, I have a flight to catch”* -Awesome benefits: 401k, ESPP, Bonus -Deck parties, six flags -Cool (but not too cool) technologies *Results may vary based on team/manager/commitments

Cons

Everyone says salary, and while it’s true that we’re below ‘industry standard’, I feel that management is actively trying to address it (via larger raises, performance bonus, etc), and honestly the working environment is so nice I’d say it’s worth it.
