Pros

Few good people left in engineering.

Cons

TI has become a Walmart with no true R&D left and a catalog business, with most of the products made in Asia.

Management is full of salespeople with little understanding of technology trends, all the way up to the executive level.

Unfortunately, if you look at history, there are very few high-tech companies who have survived with a non-tech CEO.

Advice to Management

Stockholders should bring fresh blood to the top who are tech-savvy and get rid of the sales and marketing people. Just as an example, look at how well Qualcomm has done due to their management versus TI.
