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.

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.
