Prudential Financial

"Be aware that all departments are different and some management do not recognize different work styles."

"Prudential is a great place to work depending on the area you work and your leaders. They provide developmental opportunities, great benefits and opportunities for growth. "

"Prudential has a lot of great benefits and policies around work-life balance and the organization culture reinforces use of the benefits and policies. Prudential focuses on your work and how you "show up" at work. Everyone has a unique living situation, and this is taken into account with leadership, productivity, and overall performance evaluations. The organization also has a large amount of leaders that are women, so it's nice to see women represented in all levels of leadership. "

"Prudential supports and promotes women to succeed, there is a high percentage of women senior leaders"

"There are so many opportunities for career growth while also providing a flexible and team-focused work environment."

"Pru has a very strong, collaborative culture that is not only supportive of women, but all employees. There is strong internal mobility and the benefits are very competitive."

"They have benefits, work life balance and offers resources for professional development"

"Prudential offers exceptional resources to help women achieve success both professionally and personally. The organization is extremely committed to work life balance and helping employees develop for the future. "

"Great place to work. Very supportive (mostly) culture. A few individuals that may not support women as much as they try to make it seem. For the most part I've had great experiences here."

"This is a great industry to start in if you are unattached. It is very challenging to balance family and this career. Prudential is no different."

"Depending on your leader, it may end up being a decent place to work. Unfortunately, I was on a team that included several toxic women who were only interested in helping themselves. "

"Prudential's Women Empowered Business Resource Group (BRG) provides a great network and opportunities for women to gain what's needed to take that next step. I've always felt supported as a woman at Pru"

"Equality varies from team to team. Overall good workplace environment."

"Has good flexibility, decent benefits for women (e.g. back up care, maternity leave)"

"You will need to advocate for yourself. Promotions and new opportunities will usually not come without asking. "

"Majority of my colleagues are women, but it might just be the department. The culture is great and many women are in leadership roles. "

"Maternity leave is 16 weeks paid at 100%. It is very top heavy with a lot of baby boomers in senior management and other mid-level roles because they’ve been there 30 plus years. A lot if reorgs and changes to the companies strategy and objectives. A lot of lay-offs. However, some groups have supportive management and flex-time. Technology is outdated. Prudential is slow to execute objectives, projects and launch successful products."

"Be clear about role. Senior Women are amazing!! It’s mid level that can be challenging"

"This isn't the place for you if you are a hard working, smart and ambitious woman who isn't afraid to voice her opinion. They talk endlessly about diversity, which would be great if it wasn't all "check the box" lip service. All important roles are held by old white males and not because they are the best talent in the firm. "

"Build relationships. They do Prupolite here, so what is said isn't necessarily what is meant. "

"work/life balance is pretty good compared to other organizations. Gender equality is encouraged"

"I am an entrepreneur. So I have flexibility but I work hard."

"The benefits and maternity, as well as paternity, leave is amazing. Women are treated very fairly in regards to personal matters (like maternity) but also illness etc. There are amazing benefit options for all areas of life. "

"Upward mobility is slow, benefits are good, work/life balance is totally dependent on the business group. "

"Good place to work if you are decades into your career and want to coast until retirement. Not ideal for those looking to grow their careers at a fast pace."

"Good place to work if you are decades into your career and want to coast until retirement. Not ideal for those looking to grow their careers at a fast pace. "

"Negotiate your salary before you get into the position. It is very hard to get a raise once your in. "

"Prudential is very employee-focused and strives for equal treatment of both genders. They also have generous family leave and work life balance policies. "

"There are many women in leadership and lots of diversity affinity groups."

"Equality in the work place means that women have to be like men with stay at home wives to advance in the workplace."

"Prudential is a great company for women. They recently expanded paid parental leave (for moms and dads of new babies) to 4 weeks and also expanded disability benefits to include a couple extra weeks at 100%. While these parental benefits don't match tech companies in Silicon Valley, they certainly are competing with other financial services companies. There are many women's affinity groups as well as diversity resource groups. It is clear that the company is working toward getting more women in leadership."

"I've worked here for over 5 years and there are many women working here. Several women in leadership which is great to see."

"Generally I believe women are treated fairly. I am the only woman in my area, and still believe I'm taken seriously. There is a "Pru Polite" thing that women seem to get in trouble for more but it tends to be from OTHER women. I've been told I'm not deferential enough...something that NEVER would have been said about a man. The few times my manager has spoken to me about my "forthrightness" it's been because of complaints from other women."
