Texas Instruments Field Applications Engineer reviews

I joined the TI sales force in 2006, and it was a great place where they valued their people and developed them. By 2011, that had turned 180 degrees and people were now a commodity and older, veteran people were unceremoniously made to feel unwelcome, so almost all of them left. Regional sales manager positions with 20-30 reports were filled with people that 2 years before were college interns, a very nice slap in the face to the veteran people in the field who had been selling TI for years. Also, TI stopped calling on "non-growth" customers, leaving them to the competition. Management sought absolutely no feedback from the field. This is a great place to work if you're a robot.

You are a part of the sales organization. Great for pay, but you deal with sales team a lot... Hours can be very long (80+ hrs/week for 4-6 month stretches)
