      A great company to work for with exciting products

      Pros

      I work at NI because it feel great to go to work every morning. Great colleagues, approachable management, not too much bureaucracy for a nearly 7000 employee company. I've worked there for close to 15 years in various R&D groups.

      Cons

      Ok, everyone says it and it's true: salaries are not great. Move them up about 20% across the board and you have an awesome formula.

      Pros

      - laid back atmosphere - plenty of great project opportunities if you happen to be in the right place at right time - stable employer

      Cons

      - poor management could be detrimental to your career success - decisions are consensus driven - salary is OK, but mediocre reward given for skills and performance

      A very strange company

      Pros

      Some very smart people here, and there are opportunities to learn and experience things beyond the job description. Very stable company that serves all markets and industries, so they are relatively immune to big economic upsets in one or more segments. If you get hired, you can expect to stay a long time if you do your job well.

      Cons

      The company hires mostly direct from college and the young age and relative inexperience has the employees believing their own hype. You can grow in your responsibilities and take on new titles, but every "advancement" is a lateral move in terms of salary. When you're young and ambitious, this becomes incredibly frustrating and demoralizing especially as you see the top managers receiving bonuses and stock grants. What exactly did they contribute?
