Vantaggi
Brilliant, personable colleagues in R&D who advocate for each other and collaborate extremely effectively. The opportunity to develop cutting-edge hardware and software that our customers love. Autonomy as a result of working in a remote office and working on a product line with consistent revenue growth.
Svantaggi
The Marketing organization is a chaotic mess-- full of self-important, questionably competent blowhards who tend to blame R&D for their misguided, non-evidence-based decisions. Too many of the executives have never worked anywhere else and lack perspective. Too much navel gazing about below-market salary and benefits and too little action. The company has too many managers-- why NI needs 30+ VPs is unclear. Some managers at Corporate seem so obsessed with planning that it is unclear if they actually ever get much done. We need to hire more engineers and to pay the good ones we already have competitive salaries.
