Applications Engineer Intern

May - August 2018 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

Great environment and projects that really showed that your work was valuable.

What I wish was different

Not much. It is a large company so if you don’t work well in that sort of environment TI probably isn’t for you.

Advice

Don’t be afraid to track people down who do the things you think are interesting and cool. No one will ever be annoyed that you’re interested in learning about what they do.

Product Marketing Engineer Intern

May - August 2017 • Tucson, AZ

What I liked

I was given challenging, rewarding work and was treated like an equal member of the team. I was given flexibility to add different components to my projects and even had the chance to design my own projects. The company planned intern events to get to know the other interns and explore Tucson.

What I wish was different

I wish there was a multi-role project designed for interns which were considering several roles within the company.

Advice

Don't be shy. From my experience, every employee at TI is willing to help and guide you to succeed at your internship and career.

Digital Marketing & Communications Intern

May - July 2018 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I liked being at a global company, with such a large internship program. With over 500 interns from across the country, I was able to build relationships with people that I otherwise probably would not have met. I was entrusted with impactful projects, and was able to interact with senior leaders.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone for a position. I moved 1500 miles away from my family and my life to a new city where I didn't know anyone and I'll be returning there after graduation to do it all again full-time!

Business and Operations Intern

May - August 2024 • Richardson, TX

What I liked

I was given tasks and projects, and I could see in real-time how they were helpful to my team and TI as a whole. I managed different materials and products on a small team. The company culture at TI is different than any company I have worked with in the best way. TI made sure to include BusOps interns in any events being hosted, department overviews, happy hours, etc.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions, whether to your peer or a department lead. At TI, they value your voice and highly encourage you to be curious and engaged.

Analog IC Design Intern

May - August 2023 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I was treated more like a new hire than an intern. I was able to work on real projects right away and received 1:1 mentoring from my manager. Higher-ups in the company were always more than willing to meet with me to discuss their own personal career paths and answer any questions I might have.
