Texas Instruments reviews about "manager"

Treats employees as tools, does not take work life balance into account unless you have an especially good manager

Lots of layoffs and re-orgs. I was here for 2 years and witnessed about 4 re-orgs and 2 mass layoffs. Pay is not competitive and profit sharing is an excuse to pay less. Something fishy going on with upper management and C-Suite - they're all getting richer whilst doing mass layoffs and giving crap bonuses. Work culture is toxic - constantly expecting you to work in off hours and there is definitely a hiring freeze in IT while the company is building new fabs. RTO 5 days a week is not flexible and not worth it. Dallas area is boring. Just terrible management. These guys have no clue what they're doing. If you are lucky to have a choice in your next job don't accept one here please... My former boss held off for 8 months (from 2024 into 2025) on hiring a new team member for my team. Managers get a bonus for money they save the company. He got a fat bonus while I struggled :) Previous CEO did great and fostered a good environment. Haviv is terrible. So many layoffs since him. Seems like TI wants to move all of IT to India.

Benefits are terrible compared other semiconductor companies I've worked for. Upper management treats employees as interchangeable. Job openings go to New college grads so there's little mobility within the company. Teams are understaffed and managers are spread thin. TI isn't going to compete with new competition coming into the market.

Layed off huge chunk of lehi work force. No notice, pretty indiscriminate. People who would pull all nighters for TI. People who had been at the site for 15+ years. No respect for the employees. Told to kick the bucket one random day with no warning and only given a 5 minute meeting to tell everyone to leave and that there positions were no longer needed. No "thank you for all your work", No "we are sorry". A company lead by the blind. Every since the last fab manager left there has been little to no real leadership.

Things can be very stressful near deadlines, when production isn’t moving or when they decide to cut budgets. They don’t give you the tools you need to do a good job. Most managers don’t actually pay attention to what people do so that can be a benefit if you are trying to get payed to do nothing but, if you are trying to do a good job it’s incredibly frustrating.

no overtime only charity good manager manageable work

Not always plan so good

High-pressure environment can lead to burnout
