Pros

Benefits are good; Stock Purchase Program, Salary decent, Work From Home During Pandemic was helpful.

Cons

Redundant and Absent Upper Management Ineffective and Inexperienced Leadership from Middle Management, too many "Yes" people who only care about their own careers and taking credit for your work Management more concerned with using big buzz words to sound smart versus actually speaking to you and learning something. Afraid to make simple decisions; turning on a light switch requires 3 dozen people and 100 meetings and complete agreement by all. Antiquated Technology More Concerned with telling staff they care, then actually caring and fixing issues staff tells them multiple times Bonuses and Raises not determined based on your work, but on who likes you, even people who have never worked with you have a say Unclear, Unrealistic and Unintelligable Yearly Goals...when you ask HR to explain your goals and they cant, thats a problem No one will help you, essentially dropped in a desert and told to fend for yourself. You are not allowed to speak to anyone more than a one level above you Treated like a child They have absolutely no idea and no interest in maximizing talent. Inability to get employess back into the office if they want to Everything is dependent on you, your management will not help your career, then will no nothing about what you do unless you tell them and it is your fault if you dont

Pros

The culture and the way Pru treats it's employees is wonderful. They vet their hires thorougly, so you rarely find anyone that is not terrific in their role. Their benefits are also great.

Cons

Current AI adaptation has sent the tech side of the organization into a bit of a spin, as it has in almost all organizations. Due to that, some reorganization have been occurring, and many very talented leaders have been laid off. But the focus remains on the customer always, and no doubt these changes will level off soon.

Pros

Competitive compensation and solid benefits package. The company offers good resources, strong brand recognition, and opportunities to work with talented colleagues across the organization.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and ongoing restructuring can create uncertainty and make it difficult to maintain momentum. Decision-making is often influenced by the company’s “Pru Polite” culture, which can discourage candid feedback and constructive debate. Advancement and opportunities can at times feel driven more by relationships and favoritism than by performance and merit. Collaboration across teams is inconsistent, and silos can make it challenging to work effectively toward shared goals.
