Pros

Big company with many different groups. If you are assertive, you can try out many different things. But there are many people who get stuck doing a single task. Over time, the value of that task decreaces until the next riff ... then you are out of luck. The culture and benifits is better than any other place that I have worked at. For the most part good ideas win against senior staff flexing their influence.

Cons

Possible to get lost in the crowd. There are many people who are more politically connected that will go farther than those that are not. Also the treatment from management is largly dependent on the profitability of your group at the time.

Pros

Work schedules are very flexible. This enables people to adjust their private life easily. For people who can drive their own career growth, there is ample time to do that. Obviously, there is normal amount of politics within the company. So, if you are interested in moving up in management ladder, it may need some special skills to do that. If your ambitions are to become superior technically, then the company provides this opportunity through challenging project work and a successful training program. Dallas region is also very nice (except the weather) and affordable. If you are married with children, then location is perfect to settle.

Cons

The company should do more to encourage innovation. They also need to understand that they need to do more to keep their best talent because innovation can only come from these people. I think TI is paying way too much attention to keep their managers attached to the company as compared to keeping their critical technically talented people. I have seen many cases of bright and hard working people leave because TI waited until their resignation to offer better pay. The upper management seems to think that the number of people (not the quality of the people) seems to matter when it comes to doing the job.
