Pros

I worked at TIAA for 4.6 years, and overall, it was a great experience. I had good opportunities for growth and felt appreciated for my work. The management, especially in the Nuveen departments, was fantastic — very supportive and focused on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The kind of support we received during the COVID period was truly exceptional and something I’ll always be grateful for. I’d definitely recommend TIAA to anyone considering a role here.

Cons

As for cons, I personally didn’t face any major issues during my time here. Like any organization, there may be occasional challenges, but nothing that stood out or affected my experience in a negative way.
