      Too many chiefs and box checkers - Anonymous employee TIAA Employee Review

      Pros

      The mission is great and I think there are some people who believe in it. There are a lot of great people who work at the company.

      Cons

      The politics are terrible. There is a complete inability to make decisions. Everything is done for the purposes of checking boxes and covering rear ends. There are too many expensive chiefs being hired but nothing ever seems to get done. Senior management is constantly changing its mind and this is reflected in its decision to do everything and be everything to everyone. The Alternative Work Strategy (i.e. forced telecommuting) is not a good idea.

      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.
