Pros

NI is a very employee focused company. The ELP program in particular is a fun place to work with an almost frat-house like culture. Austin can't be be as far as living in a cool city.

Cons

There is a major consensus based decision making culture and the company is extremely conservative with risk. As a result, some very ambitious or entrepreneurial type personalities may get frustrated.
