Pros

The quality of work is outstanding in the industry. You never work here, because you will most likely have a chance to do what you like for extended periods of time. When you enjoy what you do, you won't get tired of working. Work life balance options are unparalleled in the industry! Good for starters and those who have given up on career ambition but like to settle with a monotonic career at the bag end of life. No peer feedback, so one gets to make good friends with peers. Great learning opportunities.

Cons

Ultimate path to career termination or career suicide. Hikes without rhyme or reason or logic or math. Bureaucracy is outstanding in the industry. Workload increases in proportion to pay hike for those who are not on management ladder.. alternatively if one gets pay hike of 20%, one is likely to work for atleast 10% more time, to keep the job.

Pros

Their paychecks won't bounce. Profit Sharing is offered. You could get advancement if you jump high enough. Templeton stopped saying "agh" 250 times during his updates.

Cons

Each business unit treats other business within TI units like a competitor. Management has effectively created this. If you get a design win it was luck...If you lose a socket it was your fault. Useful training is absolutely impossible to obtain. The whole peer/mentor system has shut-down. No one has time to train you, they are too busy trying to get their projects moving along. Management will show up and schedule you for a meeting and ask "So, what have you been doing". Management will release proclamations to save money and basically cut off all tools you used to use and implement new ones. Then give you no time to learn the new tools but your project better not suffer. Kind of like, you shall make bricks without straw. Oh my gosh...I realized I am starting to hate it there. How in the hell did they get on the list for one of the happiest places to work? All I see are miserable people. Except for the ones always dishing out the work. They seem happy they don't have to shovel. Also, someone has stolen my laptop. I left to get coffee, came back and it was gone. Thanks.
