Pros

There are lots of opportunities at TIAA within IT as long as you stay away from politic hotspots. Staying in a technical role could be one way to do this.

Cons

The politics can be difficult to navigate, if you happen to be positioned in the middle of opposing forces it will be challenging if not causing you to burn out or just want out ASAP.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
