Pros

cutting edge technology and decent compensation carer opportunities are good. But each business unit is on it's own so there is opportunity at times and then it is completely stalled. So if an engineer sticks with TI and finds a budgeoning business unit (like wireless in 90s), growth will be phenomenal. Othe the other hand if he joins the company when it is mature, growth will be compltely stalled. The HR intervention to improve the careers in such situations where a talented person joins the group in a mature phase is unimpressive. They just let young inexperienced engineers who grew with the group rule the roost. Sad situation. If you wonder how the business maintains profitability, it is b/c of intellectual captial built in earlier years.

Cons

high stress and long hours at work

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
