Pros

--Some great people to work with --Good amount of paid time off --Decent pay for the industry --One off projects can be very interesting

Cons

--Newer employees have a hard time integrating in an often clicky environment --Newer employees are often thrown right into the deep end with little to no training --The people who make NI a great place to work are dropping like flies, many of the people I have started with have either been let go for seemingly no reason or quit for better opportunities --Many of the the vested employees who are still around are actively looking for work (including myself). --Starting to feel more and more like an advertising agency people are just another cog in the machine --Long hours are often expected and leaving at 5 is frequently viewed as leaving early

Pros

Great work/life balance, awesome technology and even better people. If you want a place to work that gives you the opportunity to get involved in many aspects of the company, NI is for you! We know how to work hard and have a lot of fun doing it!

Cons

Communication could improve, but it's not bad.

Pros

Across the board there are fantastic, smart, and dedicated people throughout the organization. A lot of turnover that has happened has had a strongly positive effect. The strategic partnerships that the company has in place with Group M and Twitter put the company in an unparalleled position to own the marketplace in a few years. The core technology is truly differentiated and very difficult to recreate without the partnerships we have in place. Offices are comfortable and the perks are good. Generous time off policy and very flexible managers that accommodate home life needs in balance with work. Compensation levels are reasonable to generous.

Cons

People that leave seem to be exceptionally bitter and disingenuous about their time at NI. We still are battling a lot of the challenges of early stage companies because our industry and products are so new. Yet people don't necessarily join with the expectations of working at a startup anymore given how big we are and how long we have been around. Some hires just don't work out because they have difficulty adapting to an environment that has to be fluid and responsive to a rapidly changing industry.
