Pros

Working on multiple projects, challenging environment

Cons

I worked for TI for >10years and saw how culture changed over the last years. TI used to care for its people but that seems to be a thing of the past. Too many experienced people have been let go or forced to leave and TI is getting a reputation of being a "puppy mill", hiring almost exclusively new college graduates to do the job of multiple experience people with less resources and experience . I witnessed multiple people (colleagues and people reporting to me) having mental breakdowns and anxiety disorders due to overwork and burnout. People with very low experience get promoted because they are "yes people" and/or like to follow a more bullyish attitude toward employees, and this has resulted in very poor R&D investment and very high attrition rates. I can say that salary is competitive, but it's still behind many competitors. TI is a big company and some business units are better than others, but this culture is permeating throughout the company based on discussion with colleagues,

Pros

Provides basic experience in embedded systems, writing barebones C projects, interacting with customers for debugging their issues, writing datasheet, TRM, and customer facing collateral to train new or existing customers on the MCU.

Cons

Toxic work culture, everything is urgent and it's always a yes we can do this without given enough resources Expect to be burnt out after 2 years unless something changes in management No defined goals or tangible projects given, you're pretty much on your own and how you develop your success. The mentorship and managers don't really care what you do, but they want you to work on something Underpaid position for the amount of work that is expected from you Expect early morning calls and late evening calls, best of luck if you find how to manage these expectations
