Texas Instruments reviews

Can be difficult to advance -- there's a lot of competition for very few management spots, many of which have been occupied by the same person for literally decades. This reflects strongly on the company's ability to retain talent, but can make things difficult for a young "up and comer." Another downside is that, like many big companies, the experience at Texas Instruments varies greatly depending on the department you work in. I feel I had wonderful supervisors who gave me flexibility and trust -- but I've heard stories of the opposite coming from different departments. It all depends on the supervisor.

After Rich’s retirement, it’s just not the same company. There is so much fat and meaningless red tape that could be trimmed, but they continue to make cuts in the most essential places - including top talent - to make short-term profit goals. There is less of a long-term game plan feel from leadership and much more short-term reactive decision making - and a lot based on internal “politics” and badge scans rather than value or contributions.
