Pros

This is my first job out of school, and the company has been very good in providing the resources I need to learn.

Also, I have been given a lot of freedom in choosing the projects I work on.

If you can start in one, there are several development programs in various fields at Texas Instruments that provide great training, but also access to higher-level managers and executives.

As far as financial benefits, Texas Instruments provides a 100% match on your 401k up to 4% of your salary, as well as profit sharing and a great employee stock purchase program.

Cons

Not being from Texas, I had to move to Dallas. Dallas is a great city, but not the best in the country. However, there are sales offices all over the world, so if you end up in a customer-focused role, you have options to work just about anywhere.

Advice to Management

I'm new at the company, so I don't have too much insight.

I guess just work on making the stock price go up :)
