culture is not enough

Pros

I've seen many departments over the last nearly a decade at the company and one of the big pros for NI is that you can try yourself in different situations, if you perform well they let you move around and do new things often.

Cons

Some things are just not as good as they used to be. Salaries are below the market average and seemingly this is fine with management but now when competitors on the job market provide similar freedom but higher salaries good people are leaving the company day by day. This should change.

Great Org Culture

Pros

This is really a great place to work. There is a lot of respect, independence and responsibility given to employees. Work life balance is pretty good, it makes it very hard for people to leave. It is very common to see people try leave the company because they think they have a better offer and come back very soon because they didn't like the other company's culture.

Cons

If I had to mention one it would be average salaries. Sometimes it may feel like the pace of things is slow.

What makes NI Penang great are the employees

Pros

Somehow, NI Penang is very successful in hiring the nicest people. They are so fun and very helpful. Also, the average age of employees is pretty low so you have a lot of employees who have less than 5 years of experience. The interns really love this place. There's no place else in Penang that can provide such a comprehensive and fun internship experience. I know because I'm one of them! :) The gym is very nice and well equipped. Too bad it's not open during weekends. If you want to slowly hone your skills in engineering, NI Penang can provide a good environment as there are lots of free time to learn and develop your skills due to very slow product development life cycle. Experienced engineers from NI are quite marketable. It's not too hard to find a job in the other MNCs if you've some years of experience from NI.

Cons

NI's overall cash compensation is pretty low. Many senior employees left NI after a few years due to this, some even right after they got promoted. Even though management tries very hard to convince employees that they're paid the market average, people are still not convinced. Some group managers are of questionable quality.
