Texas Instruments reviews

Can be very political Dallas is the center of the universe A few appallingly bad middle-level managers poison the waters for others Increasing bureaucracy affecting productivity and enjoyment of work Over time, policies tend to drift from one extreme to the other (for example, from too little structure and reporting some years ago to a stifling amount today or from growth focus to margin focus), rarely stabilizing at a reasonable level Way too many "managers" who only manage without adding value Lots of lip-service to innovation, but little understanding of what actually promotes innovation

While there is some amount of autonomy, management will place a lot of extra responsibilities on individuals outside of their primary roles. This can causes many individuals to feel either overwhelmed or that they cannot focus on the primary goals of their job. Work can become monotonous depending on your roll. Additionally, management is constantly trying to reduce the number of personnel in manufacturing while the workload is not decreasing.
