Pros

I was a full time software engineer for more than 6 years. - An incredible mission to empower scientists and engineers and a clear positive impact - A ton of incredibly smart, talented, and kind software engineers, managers, and product owners - Good leadership in software R&D making sensible and clearly communicated decisions - Great code quality due to strong leadership and process - The highest performing engineers are promoted - Almost all engineers have opportunities to do high impact work

Cons

- Pay is not competitive (which is apparently being addressed with layoffs) - Company revenue is not growing fast enough, leading to painful trade offs and a drop in morale

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.
