Pros

Generous healthcare plan, PTO allowance, and 401k company match

Cons

Everything about this company is antiquated, from the technology to the employees. The median employee age is probably between 45 and 50, many of them lifers with no real work experience outside of Prudential. If you're up-and-coming, don't expect much mobility unless you stick around for a few years of you're in the actuarial program. Also, everyone at the Roseland office seems miserable. I heard that a few years ago an employee committed suicide during work hours. If doesn't really help that life insurance is so depressing and that there is virtually no morale or motivation among an aging workforce.

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 Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.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.
