      Good place to work and learn out of school, mediocre pay

      Business Outlook

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.

      Great place to work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      National Instruments is setup for career growth. They hire a lot of very talented, young engineers straight out of school, and have very good training programs. There are a lot of projects in development, so most everyone gets a chance to shine with some real design work.

      Cons

      There is a downside to having a lot of young engineers who need to be trained. As a senior engineer, you spend a lot of time mentoring younger people. And although most managers are very good, you can occasionally find yourself in a group with little new growth or opportunities. This can be a difficult situation - so no matter how good the company is overall, hope for a good group and manager.
