Avantages
40 Hr/Wk. Super easy going culture with cake works. Most of the engineers here are hired out of third tier Midwest/Texas state schools.. so competition is easy as pie.
Inconvénients
If you want to have a stable, OK job, stay with TI If you are OK with setting with average, stay with TI If you want to be a mediocre engineer for the rest of your life, stay with TI Pay is OK in Dallas and Arizona (who the heck wants to live in these cities.. most good engineers that are worth their salts know that staying in these cities are career suicide in tech field), but hilariously mediocre in the Bay Area. (PLMs and BU managers make less money than facebook NCG's overall compensation) Absolutely zero innovation other than GaN and 65nm analog process R&D.. Most of the PLM/BU managers think reducing quiescent current by 3uA is considered innovation.. but how can you blame them knowing that most them are from third-tier state schools that end with (blah blah state .. blah blah tech, etc..) which is still not as impressive as monumental progresses that are being made by software companies in machine learning and A.I.
