Texas Instruments reviews

-The work life balance is amazing -Diversity in terms of the number of things you could work on -Friendly and helping co workers

- Socially, there is no hierarchy. It's really easy to be friendly with people at all levels of the company. Getting beers with a director after work as an entry-level program manager is a relatively common occurrence. Conversations with people at all levels of the company will take on tones far more casual than you may expect. - You demonstrate your value as a resource with your work and especially with the size and strength of your intracompany professional network, not the amount of time you spent at your desk that week. This is truly one of the best, most progressive aspects of TI's culture. - Working at TI, you will receive a crash course in the "human" side of your discipline (the part they never taught you in school). Getting a project off the ground and working for your customers will require buy-in from about a million other teams before it's possible. At TI, obtaining buy-in can sometimes be an incredibly counter-intuitive process. That is, it doesn't usually mean convincing people your ideas will help the business, but rather convincing them that it's worth it to them to let you proceed. This would be a con, except that making it through this crash course will overprepare you for the political side of jobs at any future employer. - It is exceptionally easy to move around into different teams at TI. You express an interest, get some recommendations, and you're in. - They pay well and seem to pride themselves on it. I negotiated poorly and they still had no qualms paying me more than I expected. - A manager who likes you is a manager who will sponsor all sorts of business trips around the world.
