Pros

The average expertise of an engineer in TI is much higher than that in most other competing companies. There are plenty of opportunities to learn. Teams across the globe work together quite well to deliver. At TI, you are encouraged to build expertise in an area of your interest even if it is not currently useful to projects you are working on. Such expertise tends to be useful somewhere down the line. TI encourages a good work/life balance and is supportive of employees that need to take time off for families, or work from home. TI is also flexible with employees planning their own work schedules, as long as the project does not slip.

Cons

Average working hours per week that employees need to put in tends to be higher than competing companies. Poor management guidance - management tends to take lousy decisions with little consulation from the technical experts. Compensation is fair but not excessive. You may be paid more if you work for a competitor (but non-monetary benefits of working for TI more than make up for this.) Recognition is hard to earn - there are many people with a high level of competence, but only a few can be recognized in any given year. A lot of time is spent in fire-fighting mode fixing issues after they get blown out of control Quality gets compromised a lot because of tight schedules

Pros

The financial extras are very good. For example Profit Sharing will be given to all employees despite of the current tough situation and has been paid regularly in the last years. In Germany, in addition to the salary, we receive a holiday and Christmas gratification each year. I am working part time, which helps me to balance work and family well - I much appreciate being able to do that. For as long as my child needed it, I was even able to work a certain number of hours a week from home. I've outlasted one major layoff and am proud to say that I've nearly been with TI for 20 years now - knock on wood!

Cons

Unfortunately sometimes the feeling comes up that Non-Exempt employees are in general not valued as much as Exempt employees are. It makes one wonder if administrative work is not important enough to be recognized and valued. I as an administrative employee sometimes don't feel good about that. Appreciation for their work is not shown to all employees in an appropriate manner. I'm sure not every employee in an administrative position feels that way, it may just depend on the department in which one works in.
