There's a lot of opportunity, but at a cost. - Product Marketing Engineer bei Texas Instruments: Mitarbeiterbewertung

This is an extremely stressful job. The extent of that is highly driven by which business unit you are assigned and your manager, but in general the company brings in high-achieving graduates excited to join the workforce and exploits them for their energy and willingness to take on too much or stretch themselves too thin. We had multiple calls with our colleagues in India or China that lasted until past 10PM every week , every email from sales was immediately escalated, and the range of our responsibilities was so broad I never had clear focus about my goals except "increase revenue". We were constantly hammered by sales to lower our prices and destroy the market value just so they could sell a different part on the BOM at a higher price. On top of all that, the entire business unit would be constantly preparing for quarterly business reviews, annual planning, or deep dives so that our senior management could keep their jobs rather than us doing actual work. When I put in my 2 week notice, I was told to keep it a secret from the team until the very last day because the team couldn't be distracted from preparing for one of these meetings. The core mindsets and behaviors were drilled into us and used against us to push us to work harder, for longer hours, without so much as a line or two of positive feedback. There's tons of opportunity to do a lot, learn skills, and pad your resume, but internal upward mobility is extremely competitive. TI has a very political office culture and who you know will or get face-time with will determine if you move up or not. The type of person that would want a job like this probably doesn't want to coast or take an unchallenging job, but this company pushes people in this role beyond their limit and gaslights them to think its normal. That is not something I'd recommend to my younger self.
