Pros

Good pension benefits, nice options for 401k and the company pension plan. That is about it.

Cons

Horrible parking arrangement, you WILL spend good time looking for a spot if you come after 8pm. Employee monitoring - they ARE taking screenshots of everything you do, if you thought government was violating, well, welcome to TIAA CREF. People get fired and escorted out all the time. Diversity - don't let a bunch of crap on the corporate intranet fool you: If by diversity you mean 70% Indian contractors, 10% African Americans & 20% white old guys landed their to get their pension benefits, then you are right on point. When you are a contractor, get ready to be stuck in a lab room with 40 of your peers.

Pros

Many good people. Compensation is good, up to a point.

Cons

Management's focus is on perceptions - how will it look - instead of the most productive solutions. They don't like older people.

Pros

Company truly values employees and participants. Senior management and has a true vision for the future and how to get there.

Cons

Time off can be challenging during certain times of the year. Lots of mandatory overtime throughout the year which is good for $ but can make for long days.
