Texas Instruments Reviews

Pros

Good Salary
Lower level management is good
Stable

Cons

Very bad work life balance.

Management not invested in providing enough resources only bottom line

Higher level management micro manages and is out of touch.

Higher level management will change technical ranking made by lower management based on "their" favorites whether they are good performers or not.

Advice to Senior Management

Improve employee resource level to improve work life balance in factories.

Allow engineering and lower level managers to do their job without micro management. It stifles growth and innovation.

Allow peers and lower level management to do ranking rather than perception of highest level of management who are typically out of touch whether they realize it or not.

Pros

salary and techincal is OK

Cons

Too much pressure on the work , tight schedule to meet customer's requirement . so it is not good for the personal life

Advice to Senior Management

Care more about your engineer .

Pros

Good Benefits
Best Facilities
Innovative Product Lines
Good Training Ground
World Class Company

Cons

Compensation for the Asian employee is not comparable to the other regions of the world which causes fast turn-around of employees. Multi-task work load in Philippines as compared to the other Region which is more organize

Advice to Senior Management

They should review and balance the compensation package of their employees so that they can eliminate the fast turn-around of the people in the Philippine Plant. They should select middle management position properly so that pressure will be less and this equate to output to the company.

Pros

Good pay with OT over 8hrs per day. Benefits are pretty much the same as other places.

Cons

Runs very thin, very stressful. Nights shift only has one technician and common problems do not get fixed because of manpower. Constant battle trying to keep equipment going. You can talk to management about issues, but you won't see anything done. If you are an EET, you won't go any higher in the company unless you get a b.s. degree. All managers are engineers.

Advice to Senior Management

There really needs to be more than one tech per area on shift for safety and to avoid work related injury.

Pros

Balance of work and life, ablity to telecomute, benefit package is above average. TI is a great place to learn.

Cons

Not being fairly evlauted or compensated by management. Diversity is not embraced. You cannot be different and you cannot express an opinion or thougth that does not align with management. Having work for the company for over 20+ years it amazes me how manager are willing to take credit for the work of one of their employess but will not in turn give great to the employee that did the work.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't assume the manager is right adhere to the company policies on ethics in the workplace.

Pros

- You have the freedom and flexibility to move around to other parts of the company based on interests and business need
- Stable company
- Casual work environment and dress code

Cons

- Feedback mechanisms were awful. Do not expect to get good feedback on your performance.
- Ongoing feedback is almost non-existent
- If you enjoy dressing in a more business professional attire, this is not the company for you.
- Unless you have some engineering experience, be prepared for a steep learning curve when trying to learn about the lingo, jargon, businesses of TI

Advice to Senior Management

Improve your feedback systems. The only way for employees to continually improve is to know what management thinks of their performance. It is very frustrating to feel as if you are meeting or exceeding expectations, and then to find out 6 months later that in management's eyes, you weren't.
