Texas Instruments reviews

Some bad people also rise quickly! Management has ceased to listen to the engineers. Sales and marketing droids lead the company from the product line manager position to the top. These people overestimate their capability in judging where the markets are heading (see our cellphone business for the proof) and do not have the technical wherewithal to make sound decisions. A handful of "chosen ones" are picked from the crowd and these people are quickly promoted up in their careers regardless of their total lack of competency. They are promoted from low level manager to leaders of $100MM+ business units in a few years and have zero technical skills and no leadership capabilties. They are never kept in one position long enough for their stupidity to shine through. Individual contributors are increasingly being treated as common labor. If you don't fit the clean-cut salesboy mold, you're never going to move up the managerial chain.

You will be expect to work 1.5-2 peoples jobs at once due to constantly being short staffed. The CFO is incredibly toxic and since our new CEO started, it has become even more blatant. They are now in office 5 days a week because they are blaming employees for the company’s poor performance, instead of management for the overly aggressive expansion plans (shareholders are now publicly calling them out). They have been accused of discrimination and retaliation (Google the previous EEOC complaints). It’s getting bad fast, which is so sad because they have been known for decades as a wonderful company to work for.
