Avantages
TI is a great company with heavy cash flow. Some groups are more profitable than others, and typically there is a direct correlation between the group’s profitability and employee happiness.
Inconvénients
The rotation program is a scam. Officially, TI HR will say you will be placed within the company based on business needs. This translates to the fact that statistically speaking, you will deploy to a group with the highest rate of turnover and to a position they couldn’t fill via direct hire. This is why you see an exodus of deployed rotators after 2 years or less with the company. To make matters worse, TI often couples technical achievement with management capability—leading to many issues. If you decide to go into the rotation program just know you are taking a shot in the dark that will not statistically be in your favor. My advice is to always choose the direct hire position over any rotation program if it’s a role you are interested in.
