Pros

Many different opportunities and locations. Financial stability, even in a down market. A culture of teamwork. I am amazed at how many people have come back to Prudential after going to other firms. There seems to be a willingness to accommodate personal needs, special work schedules, transfers, etc. The benefits package is quite strong. Diversity is truly valued.

Cons

I am not sure compensation is at the top of the market. Advancement can be slow. Corporate office is in Newark, NJ.

Pros

Good benefits and a conservative company culture helping to keep this financial services company afloat. Good understanding of work - life issues, a family-oriented workplace. When there is a clear direction of a business objective, there is good cooperation across divisions. Still a large company with a strong brand name.

Cons

Little hope for advancement based on merit. No career track, little planning for future. Tech employees often viewed as necessary cost vs. adding value. Often very little in terms of clear business goals. Micro-management can be a problem. Outsourcing is here to stay. Many processes and procedures hinder actual work taking place, and seem to be over-cautious even in today's risk averse corporate environment.
