Pros

Medical, Dental, Time off, Educational Benefits, Profit Sharing, ESPP, HSA, FSA, 401(k), Roth, pay raises tend to keep up with inflation (but not exceed it).

Cons

Toxic workplace culture (if I can't look better by doing a better job then I'll make you look worse), technicians are treated like second class citizens, attrition is high, TI outsources it's operator jobs out to a company called Volt who then hire extremely sketchy people who usually only last for a few months before quitting or getting fired because they are treated lower than dirt, the 12 hour shifts are a horror to your body/feet/back (they claim you're getting overtime every day, but they're just averaging your time to pay you less when you decide to take any PTO and when they give you profit sharing), if you don't brown nose then you're not going to be promoted, and if you are promoted the process is extremely slow, middle management gets cycled out regularly and it creates an environment conducive to ignoring the management all together because they'll be gone soon enough anyway, the engineers and technicians rarely see eye-to-eye as each has their own agenda even though they are supposed to work as a team, and most importantly: Don't ever go to HR for any reason whatsoever. You've been warned.

Pros

Great learning opportunity, would recommend to new college grads Above average pay for the industry Very friendly colleagues who want to transfer knowledge WLB is team dependent

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
