Pros

Prudential is a very large company and I believe much more stable than most. They appreciate tenured employees and reward them by promoting from within. The corporate culture is better than most and they truly believe in work life balance for their employees.

Cons

The compensation is slightly below average for the industry. The decision making process and/or the communication of decisions is extremely slow.
