Texas Instruments reviews about "work environment"

You can be let go at any time. I knew one man who worked his whole career at TI (forty years) and was never laid off. I know another who hasn't been laid off and he has worked there about twenty years, but they are the only two I know personally like that after working for the company for about fifteen years. Many people have been laid off one or more times. Luckily, it is possible to get back on at TI after layoffs, but one has to be lucky and find his own position - there is no such thing as 'being called back' after layoffs, as many people ask me and assume.

too many layoff, management changes startegy frequenty

internal coordination can be better

The compensation and benefits package are different for different regions, some local policy does not fit the company culture. Some high level positions were assigned to incapable personnel.

Management is slow on changes.

Frequent re-orgs and change of directions.

Too many tapeouts of half baked ICs- you work extra hours to make sure that the IC is sent to fab and later that product is shelved..after a while you start to wonder whether the management has a clear plan Too much emphasis on sales- that being said, there are a few teams where the emphasis is on R&D. Work life im-balance- most of the year especially close to tape-outs design/layout engineers spend late nights and weekends in office. After the IC comes back from fab, it is the turn of the test engineers to work late.

Not the highest salaries in the market, and they are known for large sweeping layoffs. One of which eliminated my position there.

Way too much office politics Too much double standards Layoffs are a way of life, results in low employee morale
