Pros

Flexible hours. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

Non-stop reorg and lay-off recently. People just don't feel stable and secure working for TI these days. Virtually no opportunity for engineers to advance their careers. TI has essentially stopped investing in its digital side business especially DSPs, which it used to dominate even 5-6 years ago. All upper and middle management are now coming from the sales side and has no clue nor interest in technology. All the emphasis is on sales and marketing. In the past several quarters, TI spend more money buying back its own stocks than investing in R&D. This speaks loudly about what TI is really about these days.TI's internal cost control is to such extreme that it has become even laughable in certain aspects. For example, replacing 4-5 year old PCs has been really difficult if not impossible. This results in big loss of productivity in return for a few hundred dollars of savings.

Pros

Balance of work and life, ablity to telecomute, benefit package is above average. TI is a great place to learn.

Cons

Not being fairly evlauted or compensated by management. Diversity is not embraced. You cannot be different and you cannot express an opinion or thougth that does not align with management. Having work for the company for over 20+ years it amazes me how manager are willing to take credit for the work of one of their employess but will not in turn give great to the employee that did the work.

Pros

Texas enjoys a lower cost of living and there are no state taxes. Consequently you save more and enjoy a better quality of family life

Cons

Classic old-age politics exist. Management and senior management are detached from technology changes. Schedule pressures are rampant with bad decisions being made to get product out on schedule with possible silicon failure. Severe understaffing within projects and only new-grads being hired which stresses the senior staff even more. No value for technical inputs from senior technical folks, rather ill-informed partially knowledgeable managers are being tapped from above for feedback. Useless focus on ridiculous cost-savings within the technical staff when so much is blown up on management travel that achieves nothing of value. No career growth path and most engineers have resigned to the fact of being assembly line workers in a high-tech industry.
