Pros

Within the development/product groups, there really isn't that much politics going on. This really allows you to focus on getting your job done well. It also makes for a very good collaborative spirit.

Cons

TI has a very flat structure, so trying to stand out and getting promotions can be difficult.

Pros

There are a lot of different career opportunities available to employees. Managers allow you to try out new things that you are interested in if you have a good boss. THe concierge is a very nice benefit which can allow you to concentrate on other aspects of your life. There is a good culture of people at the company and it is a very informal atmosphere. A lot of employees are very passionate about what they are working on and work very hard to accomplish their goals. There is a great IT department for the sales organization which alleviates a lot of issues.

Cons

To move up in the organization you really need to be located in Texas. If you aren't interested in this then you will probably not move very far in the organization. The company has been increasing costs for health care and other benefits just like other companies are. There is a lot of talk about talent retention, but i have seen a few instances where this does not apply to highly skilled people. The bottom line drives all decisions. Type A personalities are expected and weekends or after hours are a requriement if you want to go anywhere in teh company.

Pros

Large company, lots of interesting technology. i worked on Digital Light Processing which is now commonly found in HDTVs that are on sale in retail stores. Plenty of big company benefits including a credit union (TexIns), Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), 401(k) matching funds, free healthclub membership. Pretty good educational benefits including tuition reimbursement and televised education from local colleges broadcast live into company sites. If you can navigate through the big company system, you can reap a lot of benefits/rewards.

Cons

Company is too big. You feel like just a cog in the machine. Regardless of your personal accomplishments, it's difficult to make a large impact on the company bottom line when it is such a large multinational conglomerate. The company makes the vast majority of its money in semiconductor products which end up in other products. There is little consumer name recognition for Texas Instruments aside from the ubiquitous calculators. If you want to make a name for yourself in technology or with friends/family it will be nearly impossible at Texas Instruments.
