For the employee performance review, I see a step greyed out labeled “ Review Promotion Nomination- Not required”. Does this appear for everyone or only for those that may get a promotion? Also, what do the ratings mean? Is “Leading” the highest... — read more 

Have another job opportunity elsewhere, just like several of you folks our team is pretty understaffed, and it would be almost impossible to do a knowledge transfer session during my last two weeks. I assume I may get a counter offer, and if the... — read more 

Rumors are that the 2026 bonus pool (paid next month) is not fully funded. Not sure what this means - whole company, specific business units, etc. How does this compare to previous years? Any details on bonus?

Just heard about the reductions over in Marketing. They sent out a new org chart, which I got to see just now. They are getting rid of a lot of senior manager and up, and are expanding offshore support. Anywhere I’ve ever worked that started relying... — read more 

Same BS? Or are they better employers to work for?

Looks like several advisors and a portfolio manager in Atlanta left TIAA. I thought wealth management was their bread and butter

On the bright side, it's the last time I have endure Micky Onvural making d-mb cuts. Good luck, team!

just FYI, they are not over yet. But the culture surveys show improvement?

TIAA hasn’t given raises to employees with salaries over $100k the last few years. Will this change for 2026? Will anyone be receiving pay raises? Bonus? Flat? Higher than normal? What can we expect from compensation talks?

TIAA does this: Quiet cutting is an employer strategy to reduce headcount indirectly by reassigning employees to less desirable, lower-paying, or less critical roles, hoping they quit voluntarily rather than facing direct layoffs, often disguised... — read more 

I’m concerned that a significant challenge at TIAA is the lack of constructive disagreement in our culture. From what I’ve observed and heard, there appears to be a top-down directive approach where decisions flow in one direction without meaningful... — read more 

I haven't seen the 2025 version of the executive compensation document posted online. It used to be updated annually at the below link, but it seems to have been scrubbed from the internet. Has anyone seen the latest, or know if it will be posted in... — read more

When can we expect more jobs to be posted by TIAA? Jan. 2026? February?

Are they taking internal transfers or only series 7 from other RIA's? What's their new branding gonna be? "Telling clients the truth.......since 2021?"

Or is it prorated?

Good to know. 😂

Whenever leadership goes quiet, we all know something’s brewing. And it's been very quiet lately.

If you make a lateral move, does your pay remain the same? Does bonus % change? Not sure if anyone here has experience, but considering applying to an adjacent role (Currently a Senior System Analyst) but the role I'm looking to apply is a regular... — read more 

Seems like it's a 3 year vesting period to own 100% of the retirement plan contributions by TIAA. Let's say I started the company and my first official start date was in January 1 2023, would that mean if I quit on January 2, 2026 I get to keep the... — read more 

Or, what monitors do you guys use at home? Any idea what monitors the campus at Frisco uses?

it seems the actual CEO is absent from the EC committee, and she seems to only be present as a cheerleader, and absent from any meaningful actual leadership. Does the board make all the seemingly confusing decisions? is it made in a vacuum by Mason... — read more 

She was challenged several weeks ago on this board to go on CNBC to be interviewed and by golly, she did ! Albeit a soft ball interview with Sharon Epperson for DEI reasons. Let's be honest here, if she interviewed with Jim Cramer, David Faber, or... — read more 

Do you get a portion of it? Also.... what about the other way around? If a teammate leaves before May, does their portion of bonus money get split amongst the rest of the team at the manager's discretion?

It is clear that management is trying to nix any amount they can from annual compensation bonus payouts (which frankly I look at as deferred salary for doing your job) to cut costs if you add any value to this company or not. Not exactly a well... — read more 

I’m not sure if Accenture is really transforming or modernizing the application? Are they just doing BAU. Another question is TIAA planning to outsource their data division?

Company probably hired an outside consultant and paid them $250K just for the name change and rebranding. Just drop TIAA & CREF from all funds for starters. Very few people even know what the acronyms mean anymore. Good to see Colbert making this... — read more 

I guess Managers got around 5K-7K and AM got /lt;4K, others are even lesser

Thiight the town hall was filled with energy and engagement. Wonderful to see. It’s obvious how much the executive team prioritizes us employees. The town halls are always so engaging. I commend them. Love our benefits too.

Pre covid office was 5 days, so I don’t think it’s new rule. As well it’s too hard to communicate with remote people, sometimes responses are super slow and confusing.

Was this scheduled already or come up last minute? Seems like there’s some sort of announcement?

Honest question, why do you like working at TIAA? There seems to be so much contention about poor management, legacy technology, in office requirements, and vast pay differences. What is it that keeps you here? Especially those of you that have... — read more 

Do they spy on your work machine?

Excited for today’s benefits fair. Lots of terrific benefits TIAA provides to us employees. We actually are very lucky.

I see a lot of people that are still remote… has anyone recently successfully negotiated to be remote? Will those that are remote be eventually asked to go back to the office?

How does the culture/pay/benefits compare with TIAA? Is it easier ti transition to one of these companies being a TIAA employee? Specifically in tech
