Pros
Great opportunities to move around into other job titles to offer yourself something new and challenging. Good competitive pay, good leaders, great managers, and awesome people! Everyone is willing to help you learn. Flexible work hours, if you do your work, your not asked to stay 9-5.
Cons
I dont have any cons to working here, truly.

Pros
Great environment of shared knowledge; everyone is extremely helpful. TI provides a plethora of tools that you can use for every aspect of your job.
Cons
The site at Sunnyvale, CA, has been reduced, so most products have been moved to Tuczon, AZ, or Dallas, TX. Not a lot of opportunities exist in the Bay Area anymore. Not all upper managers are technical.

Pros
Excellent experience during internship. I was the F&O intern for a Business Unit. Very friendly and supportive team with a flat hierarchy. Managers, Director and the Analyst I supported were some of the best people I have worked with.
Cons
-As a Finance Graduate not much scope for growth/learning within the semiconductor industry. -Manager in my full time (ACCESS Rotation) role was an absolute nightmare and was the main reasons I had to leave the job.

Run, don't walk, away from this place- no matter how much money/stock options they throw at you
Current employee, more than 5 years

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.
