Pros

Excellent company to work for, good pay. This is a caring company - when faced with a medical condition they afforded me the opportunity to work remotely, flexible hours, etc. I didn't have to worry about my job being eliminated when I came back from short-term disability. Extremely supportive. I believe this compassionate culture comes from the CEO down.

Cons

Location. Newark isn't the nicest place to work, but Prudential does a great job of providing security and secure parking at the campuses.

Pros

Very good benefits / pay / retirement plans. Newark may have a reputation but isn’t a bad town to work in. Fairly high collaboration amongst departments and people are fun yet hard working. Social Media vision, tools, and budgets are great, but under new management pushing very, very aggressive timetable (time will tell).

Cons

Used to be great place to work - time will tell if new Chief Customer Officer's version of “fail-fast" will work. Work / life balance no longer exists - new management’s timetable is extremely aggressive with employees greatly pressured to produce or be replaced. Job security is greatly lacking – even highly treasured technical staff aren’t sure who next will be let go. Fired many talented people who did the early heavy lifting instituting dynamic Interactive Media and replaced them with cronies. Also laid-off brilliant Social Media Marketers, and moved running of projects to Product Management, laying off the entire PMO - was quoted as saying PM’s Risk Analysis slowed down time-to-market. After recent firing and layoffs at the Digital Solution Center (DSC), now renamed Chief Customer Office, the lower level core legacy work force has been greatly thinned out, leaving upper management top heavy. Recent motivational scenario: crony Application Dev Manager told long-time QA Manager that if QA couldn't shoehorn testing into reduced time-frame, he would find someone that could. Replacing cubicles with new “open space” work stations will provide little to no privacy, quiet think areas, or an area to call home.
