The people at TI are great. By people, I mean Individual contributors. They will grow you and invest in you as much as you are willing to absorb. Opportunities to learn new things abound. Great place to start a career. Consider it the "Training Institute" and learn everything you can. Keep in mind...this is the company that invented the Integrated Circuit, LED, and who knows what else...
Probably the greatest company of all time.Cons
Salary is good...but only 50% of industry average and not very competitive. Management often lacks professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Many are incompetent and the good leaders are constantly under pressure from incompetency at the c-level. Management will tell you "we have no budget for your development this year" but then treat themselves to a $10k weekend planning session. Lack of invention, and vision. Very few dreamers and visionaries left. Outsourcing prevails...
Advice to Senior Management
Leave and let TI grow to be the great company it once was. Many of you are leeches and we hope you choke. Too many managers...
