Pros

+ Great place to start your career and witness how NOT to properly manage and inspire people + Relatively good work-life balance + Great location off of Mopac and near the Domain

Cons

- Don't stick around more than 5 years, unless you just want to coast <yawn> - Management is very "high school" cliquish, uninspiring and lacks any prior work history/experiences before joining NI - which makes it very difficult to progress your career, unless someone *finally* leaves/rotates - Very lackluster culture - this used to be its number one selling point prior to losing the Forbes Top 100 - Zero effort in trying to keep talent when there are more enticing career opportunities

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.
