Texas Instruments Employee Reviews for Member of Technical Staff

What do you like about working at Texas Instruments?

"I was in process engineering and failure analysis. While at Texas Instruments they gave me more tools to work with than any other company offered. I was always surrounded by state of the art tools, techniques and high quality people."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"They like people who are aggressive and think on their feet. Once you get in look for positions where you are in the critical path. There they can lay you off."

What don't you like about working at Texas Instruments?

"The management is forever laying off personnel. They hire, then lay off. If it was not for the super advanced tools I worked with I would not have stayed with the company. My direct manager for 12 years was great."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Promote qualified persons based upon skills and not friendship. Stop the layoff cycle. There is plenty of offshore locations that don't do this and have much better luck."
