"NI has always been a great place to work, but it has been going through some recent growing pains as it tries to maintain its historical growth"

"I've worked for NI for about 15 years. It has all the trappings of a big and stable company, but probably the biggest concern is the lack of diversity in the work. If you like writing device drivers, you'll be in heaven. If you want to control the direction of your career, you must be strong. A lot of people found it's much easier to go elsewhere rather than being pigeon-holed."

"It's a good company, but I would only recommend it as a place to start a career."
