Pros

The company is very ethical, and most people are friendly.

If you have no internship experience, this is a good place to start.

Cons

The experience as a software developer is iffy. Be prepared to support terribly maintained legacy apps with little support for innovation or internal opportunities for furthering your career.

If you accept a position at TI, I would recommend working on personal projects in the meantime to build your portfolio for your second job, because you may not get the experience needed or desired there.

Advice to Management

Allow rotators to have more control and input over:

  • What teams they work on
  • What projects they work on
  • How applications are developed and maintained.

Putting people on teams they don’t want and projects they aren’t skilled for leads to burnout and the many departures we saw in the first half of 2021 (before I left).
