Revolving Door - Actuarial Prudential Employee Review

Pros

Compared to its peers the salary and perks are good. Over the past few years the company is gotten very tech forward. Decent work life balance

Cons

Constant layoffs every six months. It’s nearly predictable timing in Nov & May. And it isn’t exclusive toward poor performers. They will even lay off, pay a severance and then rehire the same employee 2 years later. Promotions to director and above are rare. When they do happen, it’s all political and not job performance related.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
