Pros

Interesting technology, very smart people.

Cons

Some first-line and middle managers have learned that the way to get ahead is to: 1) Assign your work to an underling so you can spend all your time sucking up to your boss; 2) Take all the credit for your team members' accomplishments; and 3) Have someone to throw under the bus when something goes wrong.

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.
