Pros

'Pru' the regional brand is great. Comes across as a relatively transparent organisation, focused on business growth and market acquisition in Asia. There seems to be a willingness to identify good individuals for succession planning.

Cons

Local management is not living up to the same brand promise. There's lots of politics in the hiring particularly at senior levels and incompetent people are promoted. As a result, you are discouraged from asking the hard/difficult questions and encouraged to play the role of a cheerleader. Retention in recent times has become a problem. 'Talents' - despite being identified in the system - generally leave after 1-2 years and are allowed to go without any attempts to keep them.

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.
