Texas Instruments reviews

Each group (business unit) is like a small company and if you are not in a good group then it will be very tough to get ahead. My experience has not proven to help me develop and get into management. If you want to move around be weary that each group is very territorial so it is best that you think about moving on your own and seek mentors as groups are not embracing of you moving across groups (business units). Compensation is usually based on the market and if your manager can really make it or break it for you. I have personally only ever had a good manager once and i have had about 6 or more managers at TI. TI reorgs A LOT to the point that it doesn't make sense. I understand the power of reorganization but when you reorg too much it makes the team feel very depressed and unwilling to perform well. The story seems to repeat themselves a lot. I feel that TI spends too much time focusing on reporting up to senior management where you are not moving or doing much progress. Also too much reporting makes it so that you are only focused on the numbers and not innovating. Overall a good company to get your career started, but you need to change some key things to make this place a much better place to work. I think many folks tend to feel stuck and as if they can't move around much. Maybe try to copy more on how F&O encourages every 3 years for individuals to move I work in BMS

In the last 5 years the organization I worked for became vertically stacked with too many levels and every one of them only looked up for input. The "yes" people were promoted and no one cared for, or valued, input from employees or the technical staff. You just feel like a cog in the wheel now - don't have ideas, just come in and do what we say. They actually demoted an employee who gave an internal scientific talk on climate change because "management doesn't believe in climate change." TI used to be open door company, but managers became insistent on you not talking to upper management directly - even to provide them valuable information to inform their decisions.
