Pros: Great team, with a chance to live my hobbies at work. The team focuses on both technical details and efficient execution. Still flexible in many aspects, despite being a large company.

Cons: Occasional interest in self-profiling of one's own team vs. (internally) competing teams, and seeing someone reinventing the wheel just because no one happened to know the first solution.

Pros: Structured Processes – The company has well-established systems and documentation, which helps you learn industry best practices and disciplined problem-solving (e.g., DMAIC, Lean Six Sigma). Collaborative Teams – Colleagues are generally supportive and knowledgeable; teamwork and mentorship are encouraged. Job Stability & Global Reputation – Being a long-established and globally recognized company, TI offers strong job security and credibility for your career. * Up to 14th month pay * Profit sharing can reach 2.8x base pay * Discount on purchasing stocks

Cons: Lack of Formal Onboarding for New Hires – Training can feel insufficient or unstructured, leaving new employees to learn mostly through experience or peer guidance. Slow Career Progression – Promotions or role movements can take time; growth often depends heavily on tenure and management opportunities. Bureaucratic / Conservative Culture – Decision-making can be slow due to the structured, old-school corporate culture. Compensation May Be Below Market (for some roles) – While fair for entry levels, it may not be as competitive compared to tech startups or newer semiconductor firms. Limited Exposure Depending on Role – Some positions can be very specialized or repetitive, which may limit cross-functional learning. Change Can Be Gradual – Adapting new technologies or processes may take longer due to large-scale systems and approval layers.

Pros: Profit sharing Continuous development Great teams Great work culture

Cons: Many approvals required to get changes made. Can have layoffs. May have to work weird hours.
