Pros

Strong technical talent at TI. Engineers are given the tools they need to get the job done.

Cons

Poor business teams fail to execute.

Technical success does not translate to product success given business team failures.

Management teams communicate business decisions poorly.

Long hours are asked to work on projects that are then ended before the product goes to market.

Senior staff is given "hidden" job opportunities while individual contributors are not given the same opportunities.

Advice to Management

This company has shown no ability to execute on an embedded strategy. The inability of Texas Instruments to develop and grow software capabilities will prevent execution of any embedded strategy.
