TIAA is a Fortune 500 financial services firm founded in 1918 by Andrew Carnegie to provide retirement security for educators, with a modern mission to "build a more secure financial future for all." Under CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett, TIAA serves over 5 million participants — primarily in higher education, healthcare, and the nonprofit sector — and manages more than $1.5 trillion in assets across TIAA and Nuveen. Its behavioral interviews use a strict STAR format mapped to five named values (Champion Our People, Be Client Obsessed, Lead with Integrity, Own It, Win As One), making preparation around those values essential for any candidate.
