Texas Instruments Senior Field Applications Engineer reviews

A lot of meetings. Seemingly drastic business decisions resulting in sale or termination of large groups. Consequently, it felt like a rather cutthroat environment. Slight image problem: most people don't know where what they produce besides calculators.

I joined the TI sales force in 2006, and it was a great place where they valued their people and developed them. By 2011, that had turned 180 degrees and people were now a commodity and older, veteran people were unceremoniously made to feel unwelcome, so almost all of them left. Regional sales manager positions with 20-30 reports were filled with people that 2 years before were college interns, a very nice slap in the face to the veteran people in the field who had been selling TI for years. Also, TI stopped calling on "non-growth" customers, leaving them to the competition. Management sought absolutely no feedback from the field. This is a great place to work if you're a robot.
