Pros

The average expertise of an engineer in TI is much higher than that in most other competing companies. There are plenty of opportunities to learn. Teams across the globe work together quite well to deliver. At TI, you are encouraged to build expertise in an area of your interest even if it is not currently useful to projects you are working on. Such expertise tends to be useful somewhere down the line. TI encourages a good work/life balance and is supportive of employees that need to take time off for families, or work from home. TI is also flexible with employees planning their own work schedules, as long as the project does not slip.

Cons

Average working hours per week that employees need to put in tends to be higher than competing companies. Poor management guidance - management tends to take lousy decisions with little consulation from the technical experts. Compensation is fair but not excessive. You may be paid more if you work for a competitor (but non-monetary benefits of working for TI more than make up for this.) Recognition is hard to earn - there are many people with a high level of competence, but only a few can be recognized in any given year. A lot of time is spent in fire-fighting mode fixing issues after they get blown out of control Quality gets compromised a lot because of tight schedules

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
