Pros

If you want to just come to work and do a job until you retire this is the place for you. Software development is secondary to any Engineering or Manufacturing so innovation turns really slowly in the Applications/Automations develop areas. If your halfway good this is a really easy gig that you can probably do in 8 hours a week of work and surf the net for the rest of the week (sans meetings).

Cons

Work with proprietary frameworks that no one ont the planet other than TI employees have heard of. Coding standards are non-existent. No one has heard the terms of Technical Debt, factory pattern, or IOC. Low pay compared to market. Much of the commodity IT is being moved over seas so you need to stay up nights talking with them on the phone since they can't work during our hours.

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
