Analog design intern

May - August 2023 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I loved the atmosphere. Everyone was very willing and accepting of questions. Everyone at Texas Instruments wants everyone else to succeed and it was a really warm feeling.

What I wish was different

Personally, I should have enjoyed the opportunities that are given to me as an intern. There were events i passed on because I was worried about missing a meeting or getting behind when in reality it wasn't that serious for me.

Advice

ASK QUESTIONS!! people at TI love answering questions especially on their work! not only does it impress your employer and team but you get a lot of information out of it too!

Applications Engineer Intern

June - August 2020 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

My experience was truly amazing. TI worked very hard to ensure that I could effectively do my work and learn how to do my tasks in a remote environment. I was provided everything I needed to effectively succeed as an engineer and I was able to triumph despite being in a remote setting for a normally on-site job. My teammates were very friendly, welcoming, and understanding. I felt that they truly wanted to foster a learning environment where everyone was welcomed and they succeeded.

What I wish was different

My only wish is that the the internship would have been in person, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic this was obviously not safe or viable.

Advice

I encourage everyone to apply!

Product Marketing Engineer Intern

June - August 2021 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I really enjoyed my team and the atmosphere that TI creates for their interns. Texas Instruments works just has hard to sell the company to you, as you work on selling yourself to them. They really placed a big emphasis on the mentor and mentee relationship. TI also tries really hard to make the internship as constructive as possible, the program was very well structured.

What I wish was different

Even though the internship projects were well structured and clear cut, there is a lot that goes unsaid in terms of what they want from you. Texas Instruments relies pretty heavily on their core value system, which is both specific and also very vague. A large piece of what makes the experience so valuable is the blunt honesty and constructive criticism. That being said, there will be times when you simply need to know when, what, and how to ask the right questions. This can be very hard when you're unfamiliar with the culture.
