Pros

Cool projects and smart people. Open, friendly, and helpful environment most of the time.

Cons

Some folks are very opinionated and bull headed, which is probably true at every company. Within TI’s culture, these folks seem really painful. If they are a worker – management will talk to them. If they are a manager, they have free reign. Despite all the layoffs, stupid and lazy people still exist. Layoffs focus too much on impacting a given area, rather than getting rid of the deadwood and moving people around between organizations or disciplines. The deadwood population is probably only 5%, but I want 0.

Pros

Individual contribution is awarded. Promotion opportunities are provided. Benefits are awesome.

Cons

Individuals that don’t contribute are not penalized. Occasional instability but not for hard working knowledgeable people.

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

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)
