Pros

Working on multiple projects, challenging environment

Cons

I worked for TI for >10years and saw how culture changed over the last years. TI used to care for its people but that seems to be a thing of the past. Too many experienced people have been let go or forced to leave and TI is getting a reputation of being a "puppy mill", hiring almost exclusively new college graduates to do the job of multiple experience people with less resources and experience . I witnessed multiple people (colleagues and people reporting to me) having mental breakdowns and anxiety disorders due to overwork and burnout. People with very low experience get promoted because they are "yes people" and/or like to follow a more bullyish attitude toward employees, and this has resulted in very poor R&D investment and very high attrition rates. I can say that salary is competitive, but it's still behind many competitors. TI is a big company and some business units are better than others, but this culture is permeating throughout the company based on discussion with colleagues,

Pros

Great pay (they have to in order to abuse people the way they do). Good on a resume (unless your future employer has worked there, and then they'll want to make sure you weren't there very long and that you were smart enough to see how dysfunctional it was.) Great benefits (right up until the point they outsource your job to China or India). Summary: If you are only interested in high wages and good benefits while suffering abuse and having your skills waste away until they find away to replace you with a new-college-graduate in China or India- this is the place for you! Ran by people who know how to get the stock price up, regardless of the long-term implications for employees or their families.

Cons

We go through a big organizational shake-up every 1-2 years so you never get a chance to actually *do* anything but meet your new boss and fill out new forms. TI is run by accountants and slimy/unethical salesmen who load the ranks with terrible middle-managers which carry out their biddings in hopes that they will impress their bosses (while not giving any thought to you or your family). They fill up your traditional 40 hour work week with meetings, and checking-of-irrelevant-boxes, various United Way campaigns and diversity initiatives and then expect you to do the actual *work* in your free time. You will be treated as an untrusted invader walking around in their building- a bothersome cost sink that is there just to make sure decades old technology is delivered according to some unreasonable schedule that they have poorly planned for and staffed to meet. You will NOT do anything innovative here- no matter how much you've drank the marketing kool-aid. The management desires only to make cheap foreign-produced products and only make something special every once in a great while when something innovative sneaks past them. They buy great american companies when they want innovation, then completely mismanage and mishandle the portfolios they inherent while trying to get as much quick and easy money from the innovation they purchased It is a demoralizing place to work, and supremely dehumanizing in nearly every way.

Pros

Big campus Profit sharing Learning recourses

Cons

Rotation program was entirely a scam and now that has been replaced with a new scam called the “development program”. In such programs you are replaced in a random team within TI with the highest turnover rate. Management will lie to your face while smiling with manipulative words, do not believe a single word out of their mouth. There is no career growth at this company and internal mobility is up to HR and your manager and if you’re placed in a team with high turnover rate, you will be stuck there forever. Lastly, TI has turned into an NCG camp, so if you stay for too long, you’ll find yourself training NCG’s all the time since they all come and get burned out and leave less than 2-3 years. Pay is also less than average Work life balance is non existent in this company
