Pros

NI is an excellent place to learn top notch technical skills. Their products are very technically challenging and they have some smart people. New grads are given a lot of responsibility & opportunities to learn.

Cons

Each group is different, so hope you get a good one! NI tends to be great for new graduates, but can be frustrating once you learn the ropes. NI takes a very conservative approach to product development, investing a small amount of time & resources over a large variety of product ideas & development. This diversity causes stability, but can also limit success and lead to many mediocre products/projects.
