Pros
The Portland Office location offers the opportunity to live in a GREAT city with a FANTASTIC quality of life.
Cons
Prudential works on an old school, BIG corporation business model. Everything is outdated from software to methodology, and the firm is too big to change. There is no room or flexibility to innovate or improve processes. The pace is fast and you are expected to deliver outstanding results within impossible deadlines ... yet corporate does not make themselves accountable for delivering on their deadline promises to the employees. Lack of support system. Lack of teamwork. Lack of intelligent or driven coworkers. Lack of culture within office / dreary office environment with low light, cubicle city and minimal windows. Lack of leadership within the organization.
