Texas Instruments reviews about "management"

Upper management almost explicitly does not care about its employees. Work life balance is bad, always online. Central teams seem to actively want to sabotage the core business engineers.

I swear upper management is making the worst possible decisions at every turn. They layoff large amounts of people with decades of experience and then turn around and say they will convert a building to exclusively produce products that require said experience.

Poor management. Heavily beauracratic. Work is rushed. Always feels like artificial crisis.

Management continues to find ways to make employees lives worse. They have been continuously laying off employees across different sites for the last couple years. Any small benefits you have on-site you can expect to be taken away. Recently they announced their slashing everyone's bonuses in half for the next year despite increasing YoY revenue and profits. A lot of the high level decisions seem extremely short-sighted and are given no explanation. The VPs and middle management are all completely two-faced and will blatantly lie to your face. There's no path to promotion unless you get on the technical ladder which in theory is supposed to circumvent management except that any level of management can veto your application for no reason at all.

It feels like we are all cogs in a machine. Management doesn't care about anything except for profit. We are all working ourselves out of a job since theyre end goal is a fully automated fab. Its depressing. There's also little to no opportunity for growth.

As far as work-life balance and compensation, TI will cut you off at the knees and expect you to be grateful for it. Many of my coworkers feel dissolutioned. We work for the paycheck rather than work for the work. You can tell because from the 2023 to 2026 time frame, the number quality events have significantly increased. People don't care anymore because senior management doesn't care about people 🤷

Management sucks the life out of everyone here in recent years. They only care about cutting cost and doing more. I was forced out through dishonest means. Dont join this company until they resolve the management issues.
