Good projects for those straight out of school Laid-back atmosphere C-level management is very competent and personable

Pay compression for engineering roles Low pay "Favorites" receive disproportional priase/quicker promotions for equivalent work compared to others. This is probably present in all companies but is blatantly obvious at NI.
