Pros

Benefits are Good, not Great, but Good Health and Wellness programs are fairly well run- often they promote a heathly lifestyle.

Cons

No Trust, don't take peoples word, get it in writing. No Family culture, everyone is out for themselves Poor Leadership, often I am working on a project with the least ranking and least experienced person in charge. It is said that it a teaching experience, after a while figure out that nobody wants the responsibility due to most projects have high degree of failure- they are an easy scapegoat. Even when something small goes wrong, it turns into a huge issue, even thought it was seemlessly fixed. Poor headcount planning, instead of trying to accurately determining workload they are just concern with filling headcount, and often results in a hire then a fire later on. Little understanding and communication between different groups that work often together. Nobody knows what the other is truly doing even though it seem to be meeting often.

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.
