Pros

Profit sharing was helpful. People are generally nice and helpful. A good manager can make your life much better (rare).

Cons

Lots of layoffs and re-orgs. I was here for 2 years and witnessed about 4 re-orgs and 2 mass layoffs.

Pay is not competitive, and profit sharing is an excuse to pay less. Something fishy is going on with upper management and the C-suite; they're all getting richer while doing mass layoffs and giving crap bonuses.

Work culture is toxic, constantly expecting you to work off hours. There is definitely a hiring freeze in IT while the company is building new fabs. RTO 5 days a week is not flexible and not worth it. The Dallas area is boring.

Just terrible management. These guys have no clue what they're doing. If you are lucky enough to have a choice in your next job, please do not accept one here.

My former boss held off for 8 months (from 2024 into 2025) on hiring a new team member for my team. Managers get a bonus for money they save the company. He got a fat bonus while I struggled.

Previous CEO did great and fostered a good environment. Haviv is terrible. So many layoffs since him. It seems like TI wants to move all of IT to India.

Advice to Management

Management is too busy lining their pockets with your money. They're not going to listen.
