Texas Instruments

I worked about 4 years as a product engineer. Some products are very innovative, like DLP and GaN.

No work-life balance.

Project teams are not located in the same city, so late-night or early-morning meetings are often required.

Management is often not willing to provide the tools and equipment needed to do work.

The company is falling somewhat behind its competitors and having to resort to ethically questionable practices to stay competitive.

During my time with the company, I brought two ethics complaints to the corporate ethics office, and they turned a blind eye and refused to do the right thing.

Pick people from the same city to form project teams. Given the annual revenue, it shouldn't be that hard to provide employees with the tools necessary to do their jobs. Practice what you preach with ethics; start doing the right thing.
