Pros

One of the few semiconductor companies hiring in North Texas. If you want to live near Dallas and work in the semiconductor industry, the only other major employer is Qorvo. Profit sharing has paid out at the max of 20% for many years (but TI leans on PS as an expected portion of your overall compensation, so salaries might be lower than average in the industry).

Cons

I went back to TI after bouncing around the industry for a while. I remembered it as a laid-back company that didn't really fit in the tech industry stereotype, maybe due to its location in Texas. That is no longer the case. It's become much more competitive internally and there is constant pressure to do more with less. This is probably a plus from the perspective of an investor, but as an employee it means you have a poor work/life balance. Remote work has dwindled since the pandemic and is now just about gone. The official line is 5 days/wk in the office, but your manager may allow 1 day at home if you're lucky.

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)
