Pros

There was a good body of knowledge within O&M/Engineering Beautiful Location Lots of potential

Cons

TI bought LFAB and it became clear that legacy management was incompetent and incapable of improving. Engineering Management had been running the site into the ground for decades, many fled before the eventual massive round of layoffs, others stuck around and bowed out of their roles "voluntarily" into lower management roles. No real desire to improve the site due to financials as the company over-invested in LFAB2, while implementing absurd design "strategies" that reduced safety and amounted to corner cutting for "cost savings". TI took government money via CHIPS Act and proceeded to layoff ~200-400 employees. So much for all of those "values".

Pros

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)
