Avantages
TI is OK if you are fresh out of school. That is what they like to hire because you are cheap. But, don't plan on staying for more than 5 years or you will find your skills becoming obsolete. You can't learn new skills at TI and they don't even allow participation in industry conferences other than their own.
Inconvénients
TI's embedded processor business has not introduced a new design in about 5 years. There is no innovation except in analog circuits. Very bad for software engineers. All digital chip design, manufacturing and most software development is outsourced. Age discrimination is systematic through a secretive stack-ranking system that is gamed by more experienced managers. You must be in management by age 45 or be gone and it's best to be gone. Most of buildings in the Dallas campus look like they have not been remodeled since the 1980s. The Hallways, cubicles and cafe are dirty and the restrooms are disgusting. When I left they still had a rear-projection TV in the cafe! This is not a modern company.
