Texas Instruments reviews about "hour"

- Lots of reorgs. Some reorgs have minimal affect on day-to-day, whereas some significantly change your experience. A reorg can cause a great group turn into a toxic group, despite staying in the same role - WLB/culture depends on the management. There are bad teams where you aren't respected, have higher demands with less resources, and expected to work long hours and be on call 24/7... And your work is never good enough. The high amount of stress felt by everyone turns into a very toxic, blaming culture - Poor WLB. They have an old school view that if you're not in the office every day, coming in early and staying late and then continuing to work late nights at home means, then you're not a hard worker. - In the last 5 years, I've had 5 managers. Hard for career development and valid performance reviews (which ultimately affects pay) if you have a new manager (or two or three) every year. - Limited resources. People have left but there are no replacements - Cost cutting culture. Cutting costs does not result in long term innovation - Pay is not competitive. They try to compensate with RSUs/Stock options, but RSUs vesting after 4 years (0/0/0/100) is really bad compared to the rest of the tech industry. Stock options have been underwater so they're useless - In a down market, you're stuck in your current group

Can't think of anything. Traffic on 635 or 75 is pretty bad

High stress, long working hours

long hours is the only con i can think of

Hectic schedule and bad food

Work load will be their. No free food.

Low salary . Remote area. Less connectivity No flat

Like everywhere else, shortstaffed. Employees are not trusted/supplied with a smartphone or a personal laptop Since I was highly valued as a technician on the factory floor, I could tell that I would have a very hard time with upward mobility Long hours - 12 hour shifts are the standard in this industry, but in an ideal world it could be split 3x8hrs. Safety was a big concern for me there - my previous employer required us to wear full SCBA gear when opening equipment, yet even wearing a respirator was actually prohibited at this facility. Subsequently, my teeth would hurt when I would be working on an open chamber - quite concerning. While I'm sure they were technically up to OSHA standards, chemicals didn't seem to be stored as safely as they could/should. LOTO practices felt substandard and often ignored. Ergonomics were comical. All computers in the factory were at an awful standing fixed height, not tall enough for anyone to be comfortable, and I was told there was no plans to move toward ergonomic adjustable desks.
