Pros

Some very smart engineers The CEO is modest and approachable Somewhat flexible schedules Some great people in general Location is good

Cons

Middle management is inexperienced and incompetent Unlike the CEO, the rest of the senior management is not modest and approachable Smarter people usually leave after a few years of service because they get burnt out by the unfair treatment and by the increasing politics It's definitely, and by far, not one of the "best places to work", there are some 100% true believers who keep voting extremely positively in the surveys Unlike what you're told, pay is really bad if you stay there long enough after school

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.
