Pros
TI manages to recruit top of the line people. Great pay and benefits. Great efforts driving web first strategy. Amazing history of innovation. Opportunities to work across the globe.
Cons
Micro management and very short term financial perspectives have stifled innovation. Everything goes by the “playbook” and there isn’t much room to be creative. Heavy age bias. If you are over 35 and you have not made the cut to leadership, you probably won’t have your career progress here. You will be constantly watching new college grads that you train and develop grow in the organization and eventually become your boss while you stagnate. TI is the only major semiconductor company in Dallas and so leaving TI is also difficult if you are not willing to re locate. In summary it is a great place for new college grad. But if you are over 35 this is not the place.
