Pros

Technical challenges are abundant. You will be immersed working with the best and the brightest. Senior management work with you in day to day operational, not just bunch of number crunchers. Bureaucracy is minimal, inter-group collaboration is highly encouraged.

Cons

Salary compensation is way too conservative. Management only try to be competitive in the fresh graduate hiring, but once you are inside, salary growth is minimal. Performance bonus is calculated with 40% revenue target, not very realistic for non-start up company. Some of the managers are great engineers, but poor people managers.

Pros

The people and the culture! Mostly very helpful, smart, fun loving group of employees. NI hired a lot for culture fit and that made the day to day a lot of fun.

Cons

Company vision from the higher ups suffered greatly after the pandemic.
