Pros: Well compensated, excellent training opportunities. Excellent technical staff. Good balance between work and life pressures. Healthy work environment, little outrageous overtime expectations.

Cons: My group, which was eliminated in 2009, had little focus or direction. There was no sales team, and a marketing group which did not seem to do much other than 'work from home' and compile Googled lists of news items concerning the group. There was a strange sense of stagnation and general lack of 'life force.' Potential business was pursued in a lackadaisical way, with lost opportunities and bad focus. Timing was always off by a year or two. Higher management was never there, frequently at the golf course, and frequently misrepresented the group to their higher management. There were byzantine management politics; it was top-heavy, and difficult to get things done. I never had much clear direction or understanding of what exactly was expected from me, or when.

Pros: Awesome work culture and benefits

Cons: Honestly, I cannot think of any downsides.

Pros: Employees respect each other. Free and chill working environment.

Cons: Nothing really bad about TI.
