Texas Instruments reviews

1. Poor work life balance. Long meetings (5~6 hours a day). Will end up putting 16 hours a day at work overall. 2. No job security. Layoff is a quarterly ritual. Will be working with a knife under the neck 3. Company is more focused toward analog business. Not a good place for digital engineers.

The work culture feels very old from the calculator days. It's also an entrenched culture and you frequently here "that's the way we've always done it." There is no formal process to onboard you and little assistance is offered to help you navigate the organizational landmines. When you ask questions about why things are the way they are, you often get a confused look because it is so embedded in their day-to-day it is not recognizable to them. Also no formal performance review process is conducted. Your annual salary adjustment is the primary feedback on performance.
