Pros

The average expertise of an engineer in TI is much higher than that in most other competing companies. There are plenty of opportunities to learn. Teams across the globe work together quite well to deliver. At TI, you are encouraged to build expertise in an area of your interest even if it is not currently useful to projects you are working on. Such expertise tends to be useful somewhere down the line. TI encourages a good work/life balance and is supportive of employees that need to take time off for families, or work from home. TI is also flexible with employees planning their own work schedules, as long as the project does not slip.

Cons

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

Pros

TI offers a good benefits package

Cons

It really depends on middle management - I've had great managers who really treat their people well, and lousy managment who do what they can get away with - when times are tough, they treat the employees like dirt because they know the employees don't have many options.

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.
