Decent benefits overshadowed by poor leadership and culture
Decent benefits overshadowed by poor leadership and culture
Solid benefits package and manageable workload. It can be a comfortable landing spot if you are able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.
The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions.
The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production.
Career progression is also very manager-dependent, and the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth.
The overall technical bar is low. If you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
Remove redundant middle managers and VPs, and give more responsibility and direction to tech leads.

Prudential Financial Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
In the Business Aligned Digital Interview, I was given 3 questions which I had to answer on video with a response time. The 4th question was a coding question with no time limit. I had to explain my thinking on how I solved the coding question.
Investments, Coding and Software Development Internship Program
The interview process was pretty straightforward; this was the screening process. Generally, I don't do well on HireVue's, so I found it slightly more difficult, but I think if you're well prepared, you should be fine.
Coding & Software
A behavioral and coding interview, which included a few questions and a 30-minute coding session. They asked about how I worked with a team and some simple data structure questions.
