Pros

There is really alot of pros. The culture here is really amazing. Such a relaxed atmosphere that encourages productivity, learning and creativity and with zero drama or pressure. Alot of the engineers are the smartest people I've met and are all very humble. The technology stack is cutting edge. The data science team work with the newest machine learning frameworks and recently shifted to the latest deep learning approaches. What I like the best is the ability work with people across different teams. You have the chance to learn a variety of skills in different parts of software engineering. Another nice thing is the clear communication between team members and managers. My manager goes out of his way to make sure his team members are happy with their work and really cares about your career. I don't think I would have any manager more pleasant and as understanding as my manager in my future career. You also get the freedom to WFH, make your own hours, and ofcourse the unlimited PTO is great!

Cons

There are cons with every company of course. With the recent acquisition, the company vision isn't much clear. It's still unknown how the parent company American Family Insurance will have an effect on NI core business. Though recently they dove into a new market and things looks a bit optimistic. Hard work sometimes goes unnoticed, like it feels no matter what you do, it's hard to get noticed or get recognition from the higher management. It's challenging to proof your worth, and sadly they compensate on what experience you have on paper rather on how you're performing or how much you're contributing to the company. But these are really the only cons I could think off. And I think the higher management is aware of this problems and is looking into them

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.
