Texas Instruments Applications Engineering reviews

The IT support area is a mix of languages that should be consolidated into a few. Autoshell is used for machine control which, however non-standard, works. The reporting side uses many many languages and structures. Java, Perl, C, TCL, PHP, .NET and many more. The Java side uses a proprietary frameworks that was created before struts and does not allow for internal test driven development or any testing for that matter. From the corporate side there are decisions that are held away from the employees when management should be more upfront. This has effected moral for the whole company. Another issue is the amount of raises. I have always received perfect scores on my reviews but only received one raise in 6 years. I even get messages from upper managers saying how glad they are that I worked on whatever project. However, they keep saying that I'm topped out but I know others are making more for the same position. The proof is on this site...

No respect in any ways in the manager's eyes.
