Pros

Advancement was only made by changing departments, 4 departments in 11 years. Some managers were good, some not so good. Proudly didn't have layoffs until ~2014., other than 'clearing deadwood'.

Cons

Laid-off from professional position after 11 years, by a manager who was forced out himself. Company lets known bad managers drive morale down and shape departments without doing objective evaluation. Older employees who are not engineers seem to be 'laid-off' in a higher percentage.

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.
