Texas Instruments Design Engineer reviews

Management is increasingly out of touch with the markets. In the next two to three years I expect TI to lay off or sell 4,000 more people, if not more. I expect OMAP and DLP people to be sold or laid off, deep submicron CMOS development and FABS to be sold off or laid off.

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
