Pros

Great people with various backgrounds (great place if you are a Maker). Good benefits. Great culture. The CEO is a real down-to-earth kind of guy. You'll see him parking next to you in the parking lot, and in line with you in the cafeteria. Flexible work hours.

Cons

NI has been below average in salaries. NI has been below average in salaries. Really, really below the average. Did I say NI has been below average in salaries? I would say it again and again.
