Pros

this was my first job after university and it was a good introduction to the corporate world. I learned a lot in 2 years, but then I was ready to move on to a place with more professional development

Cons

In a company this size, moving up the corporate ladder takes a long time. Unless you commit to 5-7 years, you probably won't make middle management.

Pros

The benefits are great. The tuition reimbursement and the other benefits such as life and the credit monitoring.

Cons

If you work in technology ZERO life balance. You will work 7-5, then 9-12. Weekends? Don't bother making plans. Pay Is low for specialty fields. I have seen double my current salary with other companies

Pros

Prudential has excellent benefits, including health care, 401k with 4% match, employee stock purchase and tuition assistance. The latter of the two require no waiting period. You could graduate and leave or sell stock as soon as you buy it. You get a 15% discount on the stock, so you are guaranteed a profit with immediate sale. The company is large, so there are many avenues for growth.

Cons

Prudential is a bit of a strange culture. Certain employees are favored. For example, I had a number of colleagues apply for a position. Another colleague was asked to apply though he had no intention. He got the job. The others did not even get the courtesy of an interview or feedback. People frequently apply and interview and don't even hear back from hiring managers. To me, that is unprofessional and bad for morale.
