Great pay (they have to in order to abuse people the way they do).

Good on a resume (unless your future employer has worked there, and then they'll want to make sure you weren't there very long and that you were smart enough to see how dysfunctional it was).

Great benefits (right up until the point they outsource your job to China or India).

Summary: If you are only interested in high wages and good benefits while suffering abuse and having your skills waste away until they find a way to replace you with a new-college-graduate in China or India, this is the place for you! Ran by people who know how to get the stock price up, regardless of the long-term implications for employees or their families.

We go through a big organizational shake-up every 1-2 years so you never get a chance to actually do anything but meet your new boss and fill out new forms.

TI is run by accountants and slimy/unethical salesmen who load the ranks with terrible middle-managers. These managers carry out their biddings in hopes that they will impress their bosses, while not giving any thought to you or your family.

They fill up your traditional 40-hour workweek with meetings, checking of irrelevant boxes, various United Way campaigns, and diversity initiatives. Then they expect you to do the actual work in your free time.

You will be treated as an untrusted invader walking around in their building. You are a bothersome cost sink that is there just to make sure decades-old technology is delivered according to some unreasonable schedule that they have poorly planned for and staffed to meet.

You will NOT do anything innovative here, no matter how much you've drank the marketing Kool-Aid. The management desires only to make cheap, foreign-produced products and only make something special every once in a great while when something innovative sneaks past them.

They buy great American companies when they want innovation, then completely mismanage and mishandle the portfolios they inherit while trying to get as much quick and easy money from the innovation they purchased.

It is a demoralizing place to work, and supremely dehumanizing in nearly every way.

Which management? The legions of yes-men, terrified that they won't be able to keep their Mercedes, BMWs, and Teslas or their McMansions? Or those managers who have stayed so long at TI they are no longer capable of finding employment at some other company that expects competence?

Or do you mean Rich Templeton or Brian Crutcher (Richie Templeton Jr.)? Those guys don't read this stuff. They are untouched by any logic or sentiment and only motivated by money and power.

They have sold their soul to chase both of them, and nothing that anyone in the rank and file says will change their minds. They are vile and repugnant, and should be ashamed at taking jobs and hopes and dreams away from American workers and sending them to India and China.

Short version: quit gutting great American companies and destroying American families to make sure your golden parachute and stock options are as valuable as possible.
