Don't be fooled by all the glowing, positive reviews--they've probably been planted by the Talent Acquisition team looking for suckers. TIAA has one of the most toxic cultures a company can have. This USED to be a great company to work for--until the last 5 years or so. Then the layoffs started en masse, and nothing has been the same since. I understand that occasionally, layoffs are necessary--but not as a first line of defense against rising expenses, and NOT as a mechanism for giving other people bigger titles and more money to do the same job. EVERY time a layoff is announced, not far behind is an announcement of promotions. So one person loses their job so another person can be "promoted" from Director to Sr. Director to do the same job they had been doing. And the cycle goes on and on--more and more layoffs and more and more promotions, and they wonder why they can't get their expenses under control.
I was with the company for 23 years, so getting laid off with a generous severance package was the best thing that could have happened to me. But the hypocrisy that runs rampant through this company is disgusting.
Oh, and if you're not located in Charlotte, you can forget about the company actually caring about anything that matters to you as an employee. They claim they are "committed to growing in Denver", but 99% of the open positions are posted for Charlotte, which is also where all of the infrastructure money gets spent.
