Prudential reviews

None really. Except if you work in actuarial and aren't in the Actuarial Leadership Development Program (ALDP). ALDP students work less hours, get more study time, get promoted just for passing exams (not for working hard), get bigger raises for exams than other students. Overall, they get paid more to do less, it's pretty pathetic. I'd take a student from the Consulting Actuarial Development Program (CADP) over the ALDP any day. CADP students are well rounded, can complete a project from start to finish (not just a small part, without understanding how it fits into the big picture), can present to peers as well as clients and they get paid less to do more.

treat actuarial staff differently. For the so called 'Actuarial Leadership Development Program' (ALDP), they have 50% more study time, at least 20% more salary and get promotion on exams. These kids don't work over time, study at work and can move to a director level within 3-4 years. However, their "leadership" is not that good. And their tech skills suck. Think about it, during their 12-mth rotation, they have 4 weeks PTO, 2 weeks holidays, 6 weeks study time, how many weeks they can actually work and make a real contribution?? For non ALDP staff, they work hard, study with less support and take a much less salary. This is not fair!
