Texas Instruments Reviews

Pros

Good culture and can share your ideas Colleagues are all kind and willing to help each other High freedom in working hours and location Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Challenging work and require high self-driven & reflection ability

Pros

The salary is not bad, there is a profit sharing bonus depending on the profitability of the company.

Cons

I worked at TI for a few years and unfortunately, my experience was not a positive one. There is no clear direction or strategy in place, and priorities seem to change on a whim depending on the feelings of higher-ranking individuals and middle management. This lack of organization is felt throughout the company, from the confusion around project deadlines to the frequent miscommunications between departments. It can be frustrating to work in such an environment, where it feels like nobody is on the same page. Overall, I would not recommend working at Texas Instruments. The lack of competent management and organization make it a difficult place to thrive, and the constantly shifting priorities can make it hard to feel like you're making any real progress. It's a shame, because there are some truly talented people working there, but unfortunately, their skills are being wasted due to the company's leadership issues and there is an increasing number of those talented people jumping ship to other companies.

Pros

Good amount of responsibility. Short distance to management in terms of decision making. Managers understand techincalities. Interesting work in IC development, with global team. (Almost too) many opportunities for taking on critical tasks.

Cons

Prone to overwork. Understaffed. Meetings outside core hours with global offices. Conservative wage structure. Change or development of rank and responsibilities not reflected in title or salary. Heavy bonus scheme will lower salary development - percent rise is done on base salary, so easy to get lagging behind peers in companies with most of the benefits in base salary.

Pros

1. Profit sharing 2. Paid leaves

Cons

1. Horrible work life balance 2. Technical managers that dont have skilled knoweldge of managing the tea,m 3. Have unreasonable and unrealistic deadlines and you need to negotiate with your managers which can be held against you 4. The process of new hire is haywire but the expectations are high 5. Management is very hostile to suggestions or changes 6. Team members have a disconnect in the team

Pros

As an electrical engineer, TI is a great place to start your career and learn applicable skills for all fields. You interact with customers in all industries.

Cons

While the ti.com website is amazing, internal documentation and organization is kind of a mess. TI is running the company on software that looks 10+ years old.

Pros

Big Company where big projects are part of the daily routine

Cons

High Stress levels and a 24/7 company

Pros

Great pay, profit sharing and benefits. Very flexible with how you can work. Get to work with some really smart people and leaders.

Cons

Depending on your organization, you may have to work more than 50 hours a week. Company level priorities are concise and simple but how that trickles down to your organization you may actually have a lot of individual priorities that are difficult to juggle at the same time. This is on top of having to train new college grads since the company only exclusively hired them.

Pros

Challenging, great benefits, evident career growth, helpful people, exciting

Cons

You need to be great at managing your time.

Pros

Very safety-oriented. Profit-sharing is nice. Overtime is great, if you can signup early enough for it. I would like for more to be done, but that's not what they would like to spend their money on.

Cons

When bringing up issues, like non-working equipment, lack of support equipment or concerns of trying to meet a quota without all the aforementioned machinery necessary to do so, it can take up to 11-15 months for any progress to be made. Even if it is directly impacting production, morale or causing excessive employee turnover. New supervisors tend to not know the intricacies of the job that the people they are managing are doing. I had a supervisor ask a question, which I could only equate to: Imagine you worked in bakery and your supervisor of over a year, turned to you and asked, "Why do we have an oven?", "What's with all this 'flour' you say you need to run this business?", "Why do we have tons of cake frosting in the storeroom?" It was a 'are you being serious right now' moment. This supervisor was, in fact, being serious. (This was a supervisor who was making MORE than us, yet they didn't even know how our machines worked, or know of the other 2-dozen factors that can inhibit production to our department. They just said we needed to "do better at making quota.")

Pros

Good bonus payouts. Very clean work environment. No open chemical tanks, they are all contained.

Cons

Toxic or hostile work environment from technicians to management. Engineers aren't so bad though. Not sure why people come to work to bully and exhibit passive-aggressive behavior. Management does absolutely nothing to rectify it; they just don't care.
