Overall I would say it's a good company to settle as work life balance is generally really good though pay is bit less - werkgeversreview Software Engineer​ bij National Instruments

The team I am working in is pressurised to work more than others but paid the same and promotions are slower. It really depends on the team. Most of the teams are laid back and you can work at your own pace. In my mind there is only one team, the one I am in, which is pressurised so much. It would have been okay to work under pressure if the managers and tech lead were supportive, but for a fresher they expect too much, shouts if you don't know things, and you soon feel that the job is just a dreadful job. Others come late to office and see seen playing games late at night while you are working. So it really depends on the team you join
