Pros

Benefits, Casual work environment, Stable company even in current economy. Depending on your position they are not critical of work scheduled. (Some jobs require the employee to be on site certain hours, others are more flexible)

Cons

The IT support area is a mix of languages that should be consolidated into a few. Autoshell is used for machine control which, however non-standard, works. The reporting side uses many many languages and structures. Java, Perl, C, TCL, PHP, .NET and many more. The Java side uses a proprietary frameworks that was created before struts and does not allow for internal test driven development or any testing for that matter. From the corporate side there are decisions that are held away from the employees when management should be more upfront. This has effected moral for the whole company. Another issue is the amount of raises. I have always received perfect scores on my reviews but only received one raise in 6 years. I even get messages from upper managers saying how glad they are that I worked on whatever project. However, they keep saying that I'm topped out but I know others are making more for the same position. The proof is on this site...

Pros

The company, relative to other semi companies, has good overall management and direction. I have friends in the other semi companies that have worked for TI that confirm this. There is excellent flexibility, so you can move from manufacturing to marketing if you are a good performer.

Cons

Communication is not too good which is typical of large corporations trying to balance the approriate amount of communication with too much, that could lead to lower productiivty. As with every company, there are some bad apples in management. The downside for the company is that they take too long to flush them out.

Pros

Good company if you want to get lost in the crowd, because the company is so big. Vast array of projects you can work on and a ton of stuff to learn. The work environment is comfortable.

Cons

Too much middle management and reinventing of the wheel. The company rewards management, but doesn't do a good job of rewarding individual technical contributors as well as they should. I've seen many instances where maybe one person's output, skill level, and performance far outweighs another's, but the delta in pay is significantly less.
