There's a lot of opportunity, but at a cost.

Pros
TI is a large, diverse company. The rotation program is perfect for those straight out of college to meet other people their age, get exposed to a wide range of the businesses end-to-end, and contribute (or even lead) high-impact projects. I fully believe this is one of the best first jobs for highly motivated graduates. I found lifelong mentors and friends, traveled internationally for conferences and customer meetings, and jump-started my career as a product marketer due to the volume, range, and impact of my responsibilities. The profit sharing, stock purchase plan, 401k match, and PTO are generous.
Cons
This is an extremely stressful job. The extent of that is highly driven by which business unit you are assigned and your manager, but in general the company brings in high-achieving graduates excited to join the workforce and exploits them for their energy and willingness to take on too much or stretch themselves too thin. We had multiple calls with our colleagues in India or China that lasted until past 10PM every week , every email from sales was immediately escalated, and the range of our responsibilities was so broad I never had clear focus about my goals except "increase revenue". We were constantly hammered by sales to lower our prices and destroy the market value just so they could sell a different part on the BOM at a higher price. On top of all that, the entire business unit would be constantly preparing for quarterly business reviews, annual planning, or deep dives so that our senior management could keep their jobs rather than us doing actual work. When I put in my 2 week notice, I was told to keep it a secret from the team until the very last day because the team couldn't be distracted from preparing for one of these meetings. The core mindsets and behaviors were drilled into us and used against us to push us to work harder, for longer hours, without so much as a line or two of positive feedback. There's tons of opportunity to do a lot, learn skills, and pad your resume, but internal upward mobility is extremely competitive. TI has a very political office culture and who you know will or get face-time with will determine if you move up or not. The type of person that would want a job like this probably doesn't want to coast or take an unchallenging job, but this company pushes people in this role beyond their limit and gaslights them to think its normal. That is not something I'd recommend to my younger self.

Overtime Pay for non-exempt hourly employees is calculated and paid by the day

Pros
Okay, let's get into the weeds shall we? Compressed work week (CWW) shifts, which command your presence for 12.5 hours (1 hour is an unpaid 1 hour lunch), the employee is paid 8 hours straight-time and 3.5 hours at time and a half - each day! CWW shifts have a bi-monthly pay period so one week consists of 3 days and the next is 4 days. Each day consisting of 12.5 hours physically present and 11.5 of those hours being calculated for payroll. Therefore, one week has 24 straight-time and 10.5 over-time hours and the second week has 29.5 straight-time hours with 16.5 over-time hours. Remember to calculate correctly! Although each day is calculated for over-time, the second week reaches it's 40-hour limit on the 4th day after only 5.5 hours so the 5 hours remaining on the 4th day is all over-time not just the 3.5 hours as calculated in the days previous. Also, night shift employees enjoy a 15% differential which is factored in so that straight-time is equal to 1.15 times their base-rate and over-time is calculated at 1.725 times their base-rate! Absolutely delicious!
Cons
Unable to find where Texas Employment law is requiring Texas Instruments to pay their employees in this manner. Therefore, this payment structure could all fade at any given time.
