      National Instruments rocks!

      Pros

      Direct and unfettered access to management from the CEO on down. Dr T (CEO) has always had a long term vision for NI and continually pushes the company to be innovative.

      Cons

      Company continues to grow & outperform but the stock value stays the same - no change in 5 years. Also the company doubles in size every 5 years and it is becoming difficult to maintain the same "feel" as we grow.

      NI - Excellent opportunities for strong, motivated employees - weaker employees please apply elsewhere

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NI's a great place to work for a few reasons but most of it comes down to the people you get to work with and the responsibility/opportunities for growth that you're given. I started in the ELP (Engineering Leadership Program) and have had a ton of opportunities in a short period of time. I can't imagine any other employer giving me the chance to own important tasks or make such an impact on the organization. Where else does the CEO sit with random people at lunch to chat.

      Cons

      Like I said, it all comes down to the people you get to work with. There are some incredible people at NI and the organization's flat structure allows for you to interact with them easily. Unfortunately, there are also those that you would prefer not work. Not everyone can be perfect but a few of these "bad apples" do spoil the otherwise excellent work environment.
