Pros

Amazing people, underdog mentality and "can do it" attitude made for an awesome place to start my career and learn the ropes. In the end it was the culture and the people that kept me coming back.

Cons

The founders vision, leadership and strategy wasn't quite enough to take the company much beyond $1B. After getting stuck, the typical cycle of rotating CEO's and strategy led to layoffs and ultimately, acquisition.

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.
