Business outlook
Pros
Never had a layoff, so there is job security. There are several fun projects. The environment is very technically advanced. I learned more in my first year at National Instruments than I did at any of my previous jobs. They have great benefits and provide great learning opportunities.
Cons
Managers are just that, managers, not leaders. They use their positional status to effect change more than actually leading. I have known a few people who were "encouraged" to find another job because some manager did not think they were doing enough, and then others had to take over their projects (or worse, they languished) because they were needed.
