Pros

Big company with many different groups. If you are assertive, you can try out many different things. But there are many people who get stuck doing a single task. Over time, the value of that task decreaces until the next riff ... then you are out of luck. The culture and benifits is better than any other place that I have worked at. For the most part good ideas win against senior staff flexing their influence.

Cons

Possible to get lost in the crowd. There are many people who are more politically connected that will go farther than those that are not. Also the treatment from management is largly dependent on the profitability of your group at the time.

Pros

Usually TI is a stable place to work, they let you balance work and life, reward your efforts, ect. Work in analog/HVAL and you should still have a good future.

Cons

Management is increasingly out of touch with the markets. In the next two to three years I expect TI to lay off or sell 4,000 more people, if not more. I expect OMAP and DLP people to be sold or laid off, deep submicron CMOS development and FABS to be sold off or laid off.

Pros

Benefits, Casual work environment, Stable company even in current economy. Depending on your position they are not critical of work scheduled. (Some jobs require the employee to be on site certain hours, others are more flexible)

Cons

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...
