very good place to work - Attorney TIAA Employee Review

corporate environment -- constant threats of lay offs -- also, people are evaluated using a 360 evaluation, meaning that a great number of collegues evaluate your performance, up to 15 and 20 people, starting with your administrative assistant; so, unless you make friends with many, many people around you, then you will not have a lot of good recommendations from many people, and bonuses are based on recommendations from many of your collegues.
