Pros

I will preface this with an acknowledgment that your experience will be very contingent on your module, supervisor, experience in the semicon industry, & if you've been employed by other companies in the semicon industry. If all of the above are favorable for you, you may have a good time at TI. Good salary, raises, and people to work with. Good benefits & start bonuses. Profit sharing is amazing. Depending on your role, varying degrees of flexibility working remotely, which makes sense. If you want to be on site the majority of the time, apply for an Equipment Engineer or technician role. Otherwise, apply for a Process Engineer or technician role

Cons

The above factors weren't all favorable for me. And if other companies in the semicon industry are more demanding, I don't even want to know. 24 hr manufacturing environment is brutal. My module is particularly nasty, losing a lot of engineers and technicians in the short time I've been here. Training is the worst part because of how hit-and-miss it is. Everyone is busy, especially your trainer, make no mistake about it. Will say, training is getting better. Some of the official training won't line up with where you're at in terms of your career because of the limited offerings. On top of that, you'll be expected to do your regular job even if you're in a week-long training. Don't be surprised if you get a plethora of calls in the middle of them. You'll get thrown into a "tool owner" role within 6 months. Hope you learn the toolset enough to direct daily action plans for people that have been working on the machines for scores of years. Does it sound ridiculous to have a New College Grad directing this activity when you have a tenuous grasp of how the machine works? It does to the technicians as well, and it shows. The day shift will resent you if you're not in the fab, when you have 80 things keeping you away. The night shift will resent you if you're not available or engaged, but that's kind of a thing anywhere you go actually. Be prepared for 40+ hr weeks and night & weekend calls because there's no mod time, and the fab priorities are relentless. You'll be expected to work on arcane, outdated systems where you eyeball signals to see if they are acceptable instead of being able to perform any sort of sophisticated analysis. IT support is terrible for leader in chip manufacturing technology. It's a shame because this could be a really fun company & industry to work for

Pros

Nothing positive to say about TI

Cons

Poor management, flat organization, bureaucratic, “good boys” club, poor work life balance, below market compensation, poor flexibility…. Plenty more. Absolutely zero opportunity for finance growth. Will continue to move you around to different orgs without ever promoting you.

Pros

Good wage, increment will be good if you are bosses bias.

Cons

- Soso benefit - working life is toxic, refuse to spend on employee to get better training, so new employee have to train in limited resources, then will get blame for 'lack of knowledge' -Lower management level playing around with bias, non competent person can get promoted -HR does not protect employee, only protect management -Lack of manpower, one person can work with multiple job responsibilities
