Pros

Prudential is a great place for programmers to prove themselves and dive head first into their programming career. In my first month I received an award recognizing my hard work on a project and now I present my work regularly to vice presidents. I'm learning new languages all the time and I'm already designing, coding, and deploying my own software. It took a lot of hard work to get here though. Prudential is a very performance oriented company. Compared to other companies they aren't as concerned about rank and seniority as they are about performance. This gives a huge opportunity for entry level programmers

Cons

Newark is a rough area. It's hard to find good housing nearby. Thankfully my commute isn't too long.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
