Keep in mind that the first job you take out of school quite often defines your career for years to come. Companies now seem to want the guy that can design a circuit, lay out the board, build it and write the code for it.
I think the better question to be asking, unless you already know, is what will your responsibilities be for each job? I know EE's that went to work for other largish companies and they ended up NEVER doing any design work, but spec'ing replacement resistors for products built 10 years ago. But maybe you are not suited for designing new cool things.
TI likes to hire new grad's for apps engineers, thus I never talk to TI much unless I can get in touch with some of the guys that have been around a while (not very many are left). Bell...not sure, I've been to the Dallas/FW facility a few times when I worked at a different company, and its your typical gov't place.
Bottom line is....decide where you want your career to go, and even if the first job you get does not fill those needs....keep looking for it, and get there as soon as you can else you might find yourself outdated and obsolete. My other suggestion....do consulting. This allows you to see a huge variety of design types, expands your skill set and keeps you too busy to get yourself in trouble
