Pros

Texas Instruments is a laid back company. The summer I worked there (summer 2008), it was a pretty easy job as a software development co-op. The pay is pretty good, and I got a job offer without trying hard with a pretty good starting salary. The main building is pretty cool when you walk down the central hall, with skylights and trees. It seems that it is hard to fail in this company.

Cons

The office space is a bit drab, row after row of beige cubicles really takes it out of you. While the work I did was easy, it was pretty boring, and I found myself struggling to stay awake in the morning hours. The people that worked around me were not especially nice, and I was unable to get to know any full-time employees, although I made several friends that were co-ops. My particular co-op assignment was in a small group with no other co-ops, so I worked by myself pretty much all the time, which was boring.

Pros

Individual contribution is awarded. Promotion opportunities are provided. Benefits are awesome.

Cons

Individuals that don’t contribute are not penalized. Occasional instability but not for hard working knowledgeable people.

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)
