TIAA reviews

Very poor management at all levels.Direct management has no backbone. Company advancement in certain groups are based on friendship and not intelligence or merit. Antiqued systems, company waste funds hiring outside consultants that don't know anything about the company or its culture instead of listening to very intelligent employees that really want to see the company succeed. Continues change of procedures. Now that more companies are getting into the Institutional services, company is scrambling to stay ahead. No work/Life balance if you are in operations group,they will work you until die. Unrealistic goals.

There's a lack of opportuniy for lower level employees to develop and move into better career tracks. The work day generally exceeds eight hours and many managers expect you to be available via BB after hours and on weekends. There's a tendancy to hire from outside instead of promoting and developing people within the company.
