Pros

Product engineering(PE) is where the number 1 picks of engineering graduates go. Recently they hire the best graduates from schools for this position but only IF a position is available. Very challenging environment. A lot of technical trainings. In turn, a big expectation from you. Continuous learning. TI is the best semicon industry(see the records). Not the best salary though.

Cons

Other groups does not seem to know your job. they think you are doing nothing at all. They have little respect for engineering groups(not just PE). Non engineering groups are not very supporting and are very demanding. They seem to think that we should support them, but in fact should be the other way around. No unity. Very divided. Poor work life balance(shifting schedules)

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)
