Pros
*All Pros/ Cons are only applicable to TI Baguio only* -You want to jumstart your career (you'll probably won't get hired since they will hire their cum laude OJTs) -Good for first job only (get away ASAP after you've gained experience) -TI will look good on your resume -The top semiconductor in the Philippines -Most advanced manufacturing tools/systems in the Philippines(Probably?) -The golden standard in semiconductor manufacturing in the Philippines(I hate to admit it, but TI is the baseline of all manufacturing company in the Philippines) -Profit Sharing -14th month pay -High Ethical Standards? Not Really (At least in the Baguio plant only)
Cons
*All Pros/ Cons are only applicable to TI Baguio only* -My manager is a power tripper and a gaslighter. My former manager had 5 engineers(including me) resign in a span of 4 years. HR did nothing. -Toxic management -Lots of bootlickers -Toxic workplace and people -HR won't help you. HR will guilt trip you and will make you think the management is right even of they're obviously wrong. -HR is pro management (you have no power even if your manager is abusing you) -Dismal starting salary compared to other companies. Increase is yearly, but your increase is not a lot. -HMO is only applicable for your kids and husband/wife only. If you're single, you can't enroll your parents or siblings as dependents. (My current employer allows up to 3 immediate family member) -They love cheap labor. TI does not consider you as an asset. Employees are disposable. They'll probably hire a fresh grad to replace an employee with 5-10 year experience and call it a day. -Tech Ladder is politics based. If you're friends with the technical committee you're highly likely to get elected. -Management prefers fancy looking presentations and projects with "cost savings". Imagine a patent-capable project with technical advantages the can optimize processes and manufacturability losing to a project that used recycled materials to make an organizer/container. I mean, why? -You'll get calls even at the middle of the night and during your rest days. -Thank you OT is common practice. -Managers dedicate their life to TI. TI is their way of life. TI is their oxygen and water. Why live if you can work at TI? -What's TI's response to covid? They put fancy tapes on the floor for "social distancing" and called it a day.
