Pros

Benefits, Casual work environment, Stable company even in current economy. Depending on your position they are not critical of work scheduled. (Some jobs require the employee to be on site certain hours, others are more flexible)

Cons

The IT support area is a mix of languages that should be consolidated into a few. Autoshell is used for machine control which, however non-standard, works. The reporting side uses many many languages and structures. Java, Perl, C, TCL, PHP, .NET and many more. The Java side uses a proprietary frameworks that was created before struts and does not allow for internal test driven development or any testing for that matter. From the corporate side there are decisions that are held away from the employees when management should be more upfront. This has effected moral for the whole company. Another issue is the amount of raises. I have always received perfect scores on my reviews but only received one raise in 6 years. I even get messages from upper managers saying how glad they are that I worked on whatever project. However, they keep saying that I'm topped out but I know others are making more for the same position. The proof is on this site...

Pros

Work schedules are very flexible. This enables people to adjust their private life easily. For people who can drive their own career growth, there is ample time to do that. Obviously, there is normal amount of politics within the company. So, if you are interested in moving up in management ladder, it may need some special skills to do that. If your ambitions are to become superior technically, then the company provides this opportunity through challenging project work and a successful training program. Dallas region is also very nice (except the weather) and affordable. If you are married with children, then location is perfect to settle.

Cons

The company should do more to encourage innovation. They also need to understand that they need to do more to keep their best talent because innovation can only come from these people. I think TI is paying way too much attention to keep their managers attached to the company as compared to keeping their critical technically talented people. I have seen many cases of bright and hard working people leave because TI waited until their resignation to offer better pay. The upper management seems to think that the number of people (not the quality of the people) seems to matter when it comes to doing the job.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Flexibility. Perks outside of work - discounts on exhibitions, public transits. Great health care and retirement benefits.

Cons

Limited career advancement. You have to wait til the life-r phase out to gain advancement within a group. Inter dept transfer seems to be the best choice. Some people seem to be able to coast through their jobs doing minimal work. The management seems to condone this practice as they're too cautious to make changes that impact the balance of things while discouraged some in the process.
