Pros

NI is very flexible with your schedule. I never feel guilty showing up a little late for work, taking a long lunch, etc. As long as I put in my 40 hours, I don't get hassled. The work is interesting. Sometimes it is so interesting that I put in extra hours because I want to, not because I'm expected to. The people are extremely smart and you will learn a lot. The work is challenging so there is a lot to learn. For the most part, management is pretty capable and transparent.

Cons

Salary is poor. Raises are poor. Promotions come with little or no extra money. Benefits are average.

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.
