Texas Instruments, Inc Employer Reviews

My experience with the Make Organization was one where the product needs over rides the personnel needs for holidays. If a problem comes up, or some special ramp is not on target, personnel will be asked to skip holiday time to correct, or support whatever condition warrants the support. This is the nature of the business. Customers expect it. It is – more...  a hard place to be, when you find yourself at an 8am meeting on Easter morning instead of celebrating with your family. To add to that, bonuses are reserved for management, not so much for the team doing the hard work of managing the processes or their improvement. Rewards to individuals are extremely limited, or at the least, very difficult to come by. – less

Texas Instruments is a great company to work for. This is the only company in my career, so I learnt everything there. The hardest part of TI is that it is so diverse and big. So, good networking is critical. Even though I have been in one company, I have been able to increase my responsibilities in my career and grow inside the company. To me, this – more...  is the best part. – less

TI is a great innovative company with god culture and business model. However, it's finance and resource planning is sometimes not optimum given the market and industry situation.

A Wafer Fab is in a clean room environment. Shifts at Texas Instruments are 12hrs. We worked compressed weeks, i.e. three days one week then four days the next. A typical day would require being on foot about eighty percent of the time.

While with Texas Instruments, I learned about the complexities of how semiconductors are manufactured. Also, how – more...  process are controlled using statistical process controls such as the Western Electric Rules. Another useful concept employed there was 5S (a Japanese invention): sorting, straightening, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining. Finally, the modus operandi used at Texas Instruments was: Safe, Right, Fast.

My co-workers were a diverse group. I worked side by side with folks from Vietnam, India, Jordan, Kenya and Mexico just to name a few. All in all this was a very enriching experience.

The hardest part of the job was being smocked up most of the day. Clean Room protocols are strictly enforced. The clean room smock is a jump suit with a hood, latex gloves and face mask. Working fast tends to overheat one real quick.

The most enjoyable part of the job was learning the science and technology of semiconductor devices. This was a continuing education. – less

TI was an good place to work for until our department was bought out by MEMC in 1995.

Boundless Opportunities available to grow within the company

Very good company to work for with great benefits. I was able to train and learn alot in this business. The hardest part about working in this company is advacement once you have trained and went to school. It can be discouraging at times. One of the greatest things was going back to school adn the company paid for it. I did lear alot and enjoyed some – more...  of the people that I met who inspired me to do better and readh my goals. – less

Originally started up by engineers for production of oil exploration and military hardware, Texas instruments has evolved into an intenational semiconductor manufacturerin power. Research and innovation have always been at the core of Texas Instrument's success.

manufacturing is not a bad job, but when its is mismanaged and understaffed its a nightmare
