Great place to work unless...

Pros

Smart top-level management superior products progressive in terms of growth no "layoffs" excellent recession adaptations

Cons

"Great place to work", unless.. you are in less-than perfect health are older have outdated skillset you have health issues Never mind how long you've worked at or how loyal you are to NI, expect to be screwed over the second you cease to be a "super" performer. If you have a disability, unless it SHOWS, you can forget about accommodations. You will be treated like a lying malingerer and driven out of your job, with insulting bad performance reviews to trump up their false claims. If you are not a drinker, you will become an outcast. So many "perks" revolve around drinking. Work-life balance? Forget it! Best place to work? Are you kidding me??

Pros

Very stable, have yet to have a lay off, nice area to work in, typical promote from within instead of hiring from outside for upper management.

Cons

Little chance to move up, structure at times can cause ur work to not be seen as yours, feel like I hit a dead end.
