Texas Instruments reviews

Feedback from the bottom is, at best, not really encouraged and, at worst, actively discouraged. There is no mechanism for holding managers accountable to their employees beyond creating an HR issue or the employee going head-to-head with their own manager (which is toxic to anyone who touches it). Employee annual pay reviews happen behind closed doors with no employee input. (You have five years of good-excellent reviews, but this year had a poor review because your boss is going through a divorce and can’t separate personal issues from work? Too bad, no one in management asks why a good employee turned bad, you just have to suck it up.) There is no company culture to prioritize managers actively communicating to employees to make sure they don’t get surprised by a bad end-of-year review. Employee development is solely up to the discretion of the manager as it’s not a mandatory part of the TI management culture.

Management guidelines on career growth can be little better.
