Texas Instruments reviews

They will hire new college graduates cum laudes because they are still young, on fire and mostly will not demand a high pay -but this is a trap. If you're a cum laude, you're wasting your years here if you plan to stay. They can't hire experienced engineers because they cannot pay as much. Yes, they pay too little. If you look at most engineers who stayed for 10+ years, they are sad, negative minded, and have not gone anywhere (financially at least). Only those who get promoted to managers will get paid well. But even managers are not spared from the pressure. They have this culture that you're giving your life to TI. You give your weekends to TI. You give your holidays, restdays, you must overtime if there's an issue (and there's always an issue! It's a trap), They e-mail at night. Engineers can't do sh*t to production supervisors or managers. You cannot practice real engineering because delivery is their priority. They say Quality is number 1 but they don't practice that. You are pressured to just deliver. If you're a cum laude engineer, use TI as a stepping stone to abroad. If you plan to stay in PH, maybe 3 to 5 years is enough then go out! They won't even care cause they'll just hire the next batches of cum laudes. They are really smart to keep the salary low by hiring new college graduates. I moved out, got paid double by the another company and then got easily promoted. If you have a family, stay away from TI. They won't say it, but they want you to give them your life (your time).

Uncompetitive salary, middle management can change business direction on a whim
