Texas Instruments Application-Engineer reviews

You will work many hours. Always seems there is something more that needs to be done. Plus global means most our your nights will be conference calls.

Can be very political Dallas is the center of the universe A few appallingly bad middle-level managers poison the waters for others Increasing bureaucracy affecting productivity and enjoyment of work Over time, policies tend to drift from one extreme to the other (for example, from too little structure and reporting some years ago to a stifling amount today or from growth focus to margin focus), rarely stabilizing at a reasonable level Way too many "managers" who only manage without adding value Lots of lip-service to innovation, but little understanding of what actually promotes innovation
