Nuveen

I recently parted ways with Nuveen after a significant period serving as a Marketing Manager, and sadly, I can only give the experience a one-star rating. An overwhelming workload, lack of support, and poor management soon dampened my initial excitement for the role.

The company culture seems to revolve around a never-ending grind, with little consideration for work-life balance. Innovative ideas were often stifled, and there was minimal opportunity for professional growth or advancement, making the role feel stagnant.

Communication from senior management was inconsistent at best, leaving employees confused and directionless. Furthermore, the lack of teamwork and collaboration, essential elements in marketing, was starkly noticeable.

While Nuveen may be a reputable name in the financial industry, my experience as a Marketing Manager was a disappointment. I would urge potential applicants to consider these points before joining the company.

Nuveen's benefit package is second to none, and they focus heavily on fostering a strong work-life balance for their employees. The training offered is top-notch. I assumed my position with minimal experience, and with the help of a strong company infrastructure and an excellent team, I was able to excel in the position quickly.
  
The company culture is strong, as Nuveen does a wonderful job communicating its mission and goals.

My work at Nuveen in the Product Development group was always fast-paced and exciting. I felt like I was doing something interesting and different everyday, but never felt overwhelmed by deadlines or pressure. My colleagues are all very smart and conscientious and I learned a lot. There does seem to be a push towards business school if you desire upward mobility, but Nuveen is also supportive in helping cover those costs. All in all the the firm and its employees have a high degree of integrity, intelligence and innovation.

Despite the nature of the work being easily remote, employees are required to be in the office just to sit on Zoom and Teams calls all day.  Even if there is not a single person you work with or speak to in the office. The in-office mandate feels more about corporate control than productivity.

Leadership is equally behind the times. Senior managers are out of touch, clinging to old software, outdated processes, and resisting any change.

Innovation and new ideas are often stifled by TIAA's top-down culture. It’s a frustrating place to work if you’re looking for growth, modern tools, or flexibility.


Nuveen is an exceptional company from start to finish. They expect the best from every employee and provide ample support and direction to ensure you have the tools necessary to succeed. They put the client first, and everybody conducts themselves with integrity. If you want to work here, bring your A-game; they expect nothing less than the best.

Excellent office environment and reasonable expectations for quantity of work.  Attention to detail and perfection is required for travel arrangements.  Many tasks (mail, express mail/package delivery, calendaring, email, copying, presentation copies, travel, expense reporting, office and building equipment maintenance) to perform - routine administrative work and backup for Reception and other Assistants.

Performance reviews are designed to both evaluate general performance and measure progress around specific goals. Both negative and positive aspects are incorporated in these reviews as they should serve as a point of reference to both look back in evaluation and ahead in anticipation. Pulling back from daily demands in order to assess and review employee performance allows managers to focus their attention on specific departments and clarify what is high priority to their company.

I worked for Nuveen for almost 10 years and all of my time there was very satisfying and productive. Unfortunately, there was a cost cutting plan in place and many senior people were released in March of 2019. I am a talented fixed income professional who has worn many hats. From portfolio management, credit analysis, client relationship management, asset gathering, technical writing and personnel management.

Good intentions, attempts to cultivate forward thinking entrepreneurial culture but at times stagnated by overly bureaucratic processes (inherent of a huge parent company & multiple affiliates/product lines), ultimately favoring risk aversion over employee innovation & agility (doesn’t walk the talk). Ample opportunity for career growth/change. 

This company is stuck in their old ways and doesn't do anything to evolve and grow. I had a manager who didn't even know how to use Microsoft word or excel. She could barely use a computer! You only get noticed if you worked there for 10 or more years and they don't help you to advance or grow. The only thing that made me stay was the benefits and retirement incentives.
