Avantages
IT application & infrastructure and operation services organization to many Prudential business units. Good learning ground for those who wants to learn on-jobs technical skills. Good bonus just like any other insurance companies, but be prepared to work like slave.
Inconvénients
Lots of politics and power struggling problems with the senior management team. You can find the worst IT bosses there, lots of foreigners in senior positions, who take care, hire and promote their own kind only. If you are useful, you are wanted; when you are not useful, bosses start ignoring you. One can also be found loaded with tons of responsibilities as the top management believes in lesser hires with maximum responsibilities. Senior management micro-manage team and will constantly call you immediately (even on weekends) whenever VIP feedback minor problems on systems. No clear directions and major decisions often get changed as frequently as the staff turnover rates. Management is there to "fix" problems only. no long term directions and solutions.
