Pros

Great place to start a career in the semiconductor industry after college since you will get a variety of experiences and learning opportunities within the first couple of years. TI is one of the better semiconductor companies in the industry right now and with all of the merger's and acquisitions that can be a good thing.

Cons

TI is very much a Texas based company, so working for TI in Dallas, TX (HQ) is awesome, however if you're like me working in one of the many regional sales offices, in this case Silicon Valley, CA, then it can be troublesome with regards to compensation. The SF Bay tech culture is unique and most valley companies here offer a certain level of pay and amenities that TI doesn't. The pay when you get sent here from Texas is adjusted but not nearly enough, your quality of life will suffer.

Pros

TI is OK if you are fresh out of school. That is what they like to hire because you are cheap. But, don't plan on staying for more than 5 years or you will find your skills becoming obsolete. You can't learn new skills at TI and they don't even allow participation in industry conferences other than their own.

Cons

TI's embedded processor business has not introduced a new design in about 5 years. There is no innovation except in analog circuits. Very bad for software engineers. All digital chip design, manufacturing and most software development is outsourced. Age discrimination is systematic through a secretive stack-ranking system that is gamed by more experienced managers. You must be in management by age 45 or be gone and it's best to be gone. Most of buildings in the Dallas campus look like they have not been remodeled since the 1980s. The Hallways, cubicles and cafe are dirty and the restrooms are disgusting. When I left they still had a rear-projection TV in the cafe! This is not a modern company.
