Texas Instruments reviews

Layoffs are always there. It seems like with new leadership they want to layoff those that have been at the company for a long time and replace them with New College Grads. For the New College Grads, it can suck because you are inheriting something that is home grown/ custom/ created specifically for TI, so it can be difficult to learn. There have been NCGs laid off within 2 years. There is favoritism in who gets promoted to be managers. There are some great managers, but also some really bad ones. Micromanagement, bullying, harassment. Because they cut IT a lot, it can be very hard to get projects done. Projects can take years to complete.

The number of projects increases every year but headcount remains the same and in some cases, decreases. No matter how much work you get done, there is always more that you should have finished. You're pulling all sorts of hours to to speak with India, Asia, and Europe team. Work-life balance is awful and compensation does nothing to reduce the stress. Stocks don't vest until the full 4 years so you're screwed if you're laid off or decided to leave before they vest. There is no excitement in the day to day and it feels like the longer you stay here, the more obsolete your skills will become in the global market. Best to leave as soon as possible.
