Pros

- Great engineering culture. Awesome place to start. NI is a place that takes engineering seriously. It's a large company with a lot of technology and all kinds of engineering roles. - Doesn't have an extreme work culture with unsustainable overtime. - No "bro" culture. - Kind people. - Decent sick and vacation allotment.

Cons

- NI once used to be a place with low salaries, but great benefits and rock-solid job stability. Now after multiple CEOs and a merger by another giant company, it's now a place with low salaries, ok benefits (lousy health insurance), and poor job security (multiple layoffs + outsourcing) - RTO

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.
