Pros

Work/life balance is great because there is little, to no, business. The tool is seldom used that clients are rarely asking asking for trainings, questions, strategy sessions, etc. If you are interested in just getting paid and coasting, then this may be the job for you.

Cons

-leadership is non-existent and the only decent leaders that were there have all left -lack of direction has been an issue for a long time. there is no clear definition of who the company is, what its value-add is, or what their plan is for the next 6 months, let alone the next week -clients don't want the technology. it is a constant struggle to get the clients to see what little value the tech has to offer and even then, improvements are never made so, clients always churn -there was a time when the culture was vibrant and motivating. the office is now a depressing place where people are constantly whispering about how they want to leave and the distrust and distaste they have for leadership Advice to all: do not join this company. it is a dead-end and even if they can keep the doors open, it is going no where.

Pros

Great work/life balance, awesome technology and even better people. If you want a place to work that gives you the opportunity to get involved in many aspects of the company, NI is for you! We know how to work hard and have a lot of fun doing it!

Cons

Communication could improve, but it's not bad.

Pros

Across the board there are fantastic, smart, and dedicated people throughout the organization. A lot of turnover that has happened has had a strongly positive effect. The strategic partnerships that the company has in place with Group M and Twitter put the company in an unparalleled position to own the marketplace in a few years. The core technology is truly differentiated and very difficult to recreate without the partnerships we have in place. Offices are comfortable and the perks are good. Generous time off policy and very flexible managers that accommodate home life needs in balance with work. Compensation levels are reasonable to generous.

Cons

People that leave seem to be exceptionally bitter and disingenuous about their time at NI. We still are battling a lot of the challenges of early stage companies because our industry and products are so new. Yet people don't necessarily join with the expectations of working at a startup anymore given how big we are and how long we have been around. Some hires just don't work out because they have difficulty adapting to an environment that has to be fluid and responsive to a rapidly changing industry.
