Pros
Native Instruments is a business that is in the midst of fast paced transformation and it is an exciting place to be. With a leadership team truly committed to shaping not just the NI business but the industry as a whole - there is a lot to do and very often many challenges to overcome - so if that is the kind of environment in which you thrive, it it a pretty amazing place to be. Personally, I enjoy working in an environment where I have the opportunity to affect change and where I can see the tangible impact of my and my teams hard work and I also believe this opportunity is accessible for anyone working at Native. I love to work in an environment where ideas are welcomed, innovation is rewarded and where I leave my workday knowing I have made a difference. Last but not least - the people and the level of collaboration across passionate cross-functional teams and groups of people is nothing short of amazing. I am thankful everyday to work with such talented, passionate and committed people, at all levels and in many locations.
Cons
If you struggle to work within ambiguity, don't like a lot of change and prefer clear structures and a chain of command - then it may not be the best place for you right now. It's not for everyone and it probably differs depending on the role and the team. NI is on a journey and in many areas this is ongoing and iterative, it is by no means perfect and requires some patience. A lack of clear process can be challenging (unless you like to build and create it) and as with most mid-sized companies, there are not enough resources to do everything all at once; it requires most to work at a both a concept creation and a hands on level and there are no ivory towers (or corner offices) in sight!
