Do you work at TIAA-CREF? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

Advice for getting in? Run AWAY! They have not been hiring quality upper management lately. One was even let go because his VENDOR made complaints about him (staff too)

I agree. Run away. Interviewed for senior position. Rudely drilled by other "senior" staff and realized quickly the management is unprepared, uninformed, second-rate. Ultimate statement: they never even offered to pay for travel expenses for the interview, which was in another state! Conclusion: they cannot compete in financial services industry and are clearly under secondary management. Unless you are looking for less qualified staff positions (ie. back-room, clerical, etc.) I suggest one stick with a true Wall Street investment management firm or insurance/financial services group with solid reputation.

Also had bad experience. Very unprofessional, ill equiped. Subtle yet undeniable prejudice in TIAA work place: "profiling" against women and gays is commonplace.

Do yourself a favor and work anywhere but TIAA-CREF. Upper management is incompetent.
