Pros

The contributions to my retirement account paid in by TIAA-CREF was generous.

Cons

A back-biting environment; management appeared to only be interested in their recognition and bonuses.

Too many chiefs and box checkers

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.
