Pros

Low cost of living in Dallas. Work-life balance. Flexible hours.

Cons

TI's business principle is to avoid competition. If it's already late in a market, it is happy to stay out and never join the party. If it is already in but others start showing up, it happily drops the ball, drives the business to the ground and leaves it all behind. Basically, TI chooses not to compete (let's not get into why). This mode of operation is most disturbing for the technically talented. You might be very good at what you do and strive to stay on top of your trade, but you know that it is only a matter of time before TI will leave your area, selling out entire businesses or shutting them down. It is not a question of if, but a question of when. Most recent victims are a bunch of digital businesses.

Pros

TI sponsors employees with PhD degree to get green cards via EB1. It takes at most one year to get green card.

Cons

There are to many politics in TI. Your review and promotion depends on your relationship with your manger rather than your performance. Many talented people have left TI. My manger didn't show up in any group meeting. He just get in touch with one or two people in the group to get to know the situation of the project.

Pros

The people at TI are great. By people, I mean Individual contributors. They will grow you and invest in you as much as you are willing to absorb. Opportunities to learn new things abound. Great place to start a career. Consider it the "Training Institute" and learn everything you can. Keep in mind...this is the company that invented the Integrated Circuit, LED, and who knows what else... Probably the greatest company of all time.

Cons

Salary is good...but only 50% of industry average and not very competitive. Management often lacks professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Many are incompetent and the good leaders are constantly under pressure from incompetency at the c-level. Management will tell you "we have no budget for your development this year" but then treat themselves to a $10k weekend planning session. Lack of invention, and vision. Very few dreamers and visionaries left. Outsourcing prevails...
