Pros

Large, old, non-diverse company with a lot of mediocre performers. If you don't want to do much work this is the place for you. dDecent pay, benefits etc. that usual come with lot of large financial service organizations

Cons

This is an organization that pretends to transform but does nothing. The leadership (VPs and above) are only there because they have spent years not because of competence. The marketing organization is filled with Citi, Amex and Etrade people who try to bring in the cut-throat credit card company culture into an insurance company. Most of these have been hired due to their connections and not for skills or qualification. There is lack of innovation or culture to promote new thinking. Middle level management( VPs and above) lack leadership skills and does not know anything about team management or keeping the talent motivated.

Pros

Great benefits including pension, 401k, 15% discounted stock purchase plan.

Cons

Have to work 3 years to vest pension and 401k which is kind of a bummer. Overall, company is in a major shift. Recently did a Voluntary Separation Program which led to over 10% attrition. Lots of folks with institutional knowledge left but so did some dead weight which is good I guess. The politics between the various businesses have always held Prudential back. People are loyal to whatever business unit they work in rather than the firm as a whole. That goes all the way to the top. Promotions are very political especially in the Chief Marketing Office. People that have come from Citigroup for example promote their own buddies while rockstars who are not part of their click get left out.
