Pros

Smart top-level management superior products progressive in terms of growth no "layoffs" excellent recession adaptations

Cons

"Great place to work", unless.. you are in less-than perfect health are older have outdated skillset you have health issues Never mind how long you've worked at or how loyal you are to NI, expect to be screwed over the second you cease to be a "super" performer. If you have a disability, unless it SHOWS, you can forget about accommodations. You will be treated like a lying malingerer and driven out of your job, with insulting bad performance reviews to trump up their false claims. If you are not a drinker, you will become an outcast. So many "perks" revolve around drinking. Work-life balance? Forget it! Best place to work? Are you kidding me??

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.
