Pros

Low cost of living in the Dallas-area. TI used to offer decent retirement plan (pension), now only 401K just like any other. Great training opportunity for young engineers.

Cons

Management culture has never been emplyee-inspiring. Once good R&D team, infrastructure, now all gone. Only MBA-types running an engineering company - cost cutting is the only thing they know, no strategic vision to grow technology/business, no guts to invest, compete and win in the high tech game.

Pros

Good pay. Some good middle managers, some awful.

Cons

Leadership has given up. No vision. Every technical manager has a target on is back. They chose to leave $1.5B annually on the table when they walked away from Nokia by quitting CMOS development. They figured out how to squeeze profit while a business unit dies. The board is completely asleep at the wheel.

Pros

Texas Instruments is a great place to work in two scenarios: (1) you are a career starter and need someplace to get your bearings with decent exposure to technology, or (2) you are looking at an impending retirement and for a chance to simply while away your time with benefits.

Cons

TI's first big downside is the retirement home mentality ingrained within the organization. This is quite frustrating. The atmosphere severely lacks motivation, enthusiasm and sense of ownership and pride. Second, the company overall seems to have entirely lost its sense of direction. It wastes enormous quantities of time and resources chasing around after incredibly stupid projects that never see the light of day.
