Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a screening call. We did that and within days I was scheduled for a panel interview. I was very impressed at the efficiency. Had the panel interview with dept lead, two colleagues. It was casual, conversational and went smoothly. Frankly, I felt it was a very very good interview, and not only was I qualified for the role in every aspect according the JD., I could have brought more ot the table for TIAA in areas they were looking for, including AI. The interview went so well that two days later, I received a call from the recruiter saying they "wanted a different skill set." I was surprised and very disappointed. I greatly appreciated the recruiter taking the time to call. Most companies just click 'no' in Taleo, and you get the automated reply, often a real kick in the a** when you've studied, prepared, and put time aside. The rumor is that they preferred someone in Texas while they advertised multiple locations.

The interviewers were late and interview was cut short. It was hard to truly understand the scope of the role. Unfortunately requires time in the office vs being able to work remote.
