Business Outlook
Pros
There are plenty of talented people around. Very competitive compensation packages and generous profit sharing. Tremendous focus on being number one in analog circuit design. This has been the clear focus evolving over the past decade and it looks to pay off.
Cons
People are extremely busy. TI had large layoffs in late 2008 and early 2009. Since then, revenues are way up but groups continue to be short-staffed. Managers at all levels need some people skill training. TI has pushed its managers to be outward focused and therefore they are lacking basic talent management skills.
