Texas Instruments

My main pro is how great the internship program was. I made some great friends I'm still very close with, and it seemed like a really great community, even into full-time employment. Headquarters was an awesome place to work at, as far as in-person benefits go. The cafeteria had great food, I worked in their outdoor courtyard frequently, and the gym (especially the lap pool) was very nice. I liked that we got to have small-group one-on-ones with upper management and had a final presentation at the end of the summer to demo the work we had done.

I personally didn't love the project I was on because I was testing the waters with working for a hardware company. With a computer science or software engineering degree, I found that there isn't a lot of work for coding-heavy projects, and hardware was not an interest of mine.

I recommend TI engineering internships and full-time roles to those with an Electrical or Computer Hardware background.
