Pros
They have a good culture of people development and I grew a lot in my career there with the help of some great managers and mentors. Compensation was good for the area and I was able to take risks and work on some awesome products. I have no regrets about the time I spent there and still talk to many former colleagues.
Cons
Too frugal with equipment. Once I had an employee whose laptop had issues to the point of being unusable and it took months to get approval for the replacement. TI has a proud, rich history of innovation, but it seems to be fading in recent years as the focus has moved to simpler chips with a lower R&D cost.

Mediocre at best…the grass is definitely greener

Business Outlook
Pros
+High salaries relative to market +Flexible work arrangements (but only if your manager supports this or likes you…many managers will say no, or guilt trip you if you work from home with no reason). Flexibility is only a benefit if it's consistently applied for everyone, not just those employees with children. +Great experience for early career folks (stretch roles with a lot of responsibility) +Large amount of new college grads starting every year, easy to build up a great group of friends if you're a transplant to Dallas +Opportunities to work in international locations +Relatively flat org structure
Cons
-If you work here, expect to work 24/7. Work/life balance is virtually nonexistent. I work at another company now, and I have never been happier. TI was my first job out of college, so I thought this was normal. It's not! Don't be scared of trying something new if you're not happy. -"Old boys club" culture. Comms and HR are trying hard to turn it around and offer fun activities like Jack Kilby Day, but as long as the company is full of disgruntled people, the culture will definitely not be turning around anytime soon. -Lack of transparency around processes/procedures, especially compensation cycle, leads to employees distrusting HR -Forced distribution rankings for performance = getting zeroed out for yearly raises, even when there is not a known performance concern. Very bad for morale/engagement! Especially in suffering business units.
