Texas Instruments – “TXN management is too quick to cut people and business units”

Pros

Conservative style keeps the company out of the absurd debt and problems that causes some companies.
Great benefits and by and large the people are great to work with.

Cons

While it seems like there should be ample opportunities for career advancement, i did not find that to be the case.
There is a glacial project approval process and the development system is byzantine.
Highly Bureaucratic.

Advice to Senior Management

Break down the bureaucracy and make information easier to get to. Too many business units act as islands and "hoard" information.
