Pros

4% match on 401k good low cost index funds in 401k Small pension Up to 30 ptos/year Decent maturity and paternity leave Work from home allowed Work life balance depends on work group

Cons

Leadership turnover in past 5 to 7 years has ushered in a series of bad decision-making which bare out in the bottom line results. I.e. inconsistent strategies, market event reactive instead of firm and steady, extensive use of expensive consultants, over staffing followed by layoffs, ... A hot mess as they say. Discriminatory practices, promotions linked to friendship and nepotism.

Pros

The culture and the way Pru treats it's employees is wonderful. They vet their hires thorougly, so you rarely find anyone that is not terrific in their role. Their benefits are also great.

Cons

Current AI adaptation has sent the tech side of the organization into a bit of a spin, as it has in almost all organizations. Due to that, some reorganization have been occurring, and many very talented leaders have been laid off. But the focus remains on the customer always, and no doubt these changes will level off soon.
