      Laid back work experience

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely laid back work place Accommodating to families Challenging and fun environment Employees empowered to do what interests them. On-site health center Nice campus Strong management at the highest levels

      Cons

      Pay is not competitive outside of the engineering or sales groups Horrible maternity leave policy (partially result of a dominantly male workplace) Health care/Insurance was one of the strongest points, but now decreasing (not entirely NI's fault) Despite increasing number of females, still very male dominated in management positions Job growth is primarily outside of the US

      Good for career starters

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great place for engineering graduates who don't just want to stick with a technical role. NI provides opportunities to explore your career interests in Marketing, Sales, even Operations at a very early stage of your career. You will find a lot of like-minded engineers working in a very young and energetic environment.

      Cons

      After your first promotion from ELP to the next level, you will find your career stagnated for a while, the company has seem challenges to maintain top talents because NI is never known for high compensation, so if the job becomes less challenge and while your mid-level managers are all 30-40 years old, it is hard to keep people around after waiting for 2-3 years for the next promotion.
