Pros
National Instruments is a fun, relaxed workplace. People frequently come in wearing shorts and flipflops and it's easy to make your schedule flexible. Management is normally pretty open to feedback, and it's definitely possible to move around (laterally) within the company to try different things. It's easy to get some fantastic, resume building experience in a short period of time.
Cons
With such a flat organization, it can be difficult to make significant career advances. Salaries also don't increase quite as fast as some competitors. NI is looking for people who are passionate about its culture and products - and those people typically work for less.
