Prudential plc

Overtime is expected everyday and claim is seldom approved

Long working hours, manual process

Pressure Rigidity More pressure Little work-life balance

No minimum wage but not an issue for salespeople

Too hierarchical and rigid at times.

Career advancement might not be favorable

Must be very discipline and not slack off

No con that I can think of

On the flip side, working at Prudential is a very slow ride. All pieces of work has its unit cut out in years, quarters, and if lucky, maybe months. Add in the "unexpected" delays that happens all the time, and you can expect to ship "new" things once per year at best. New skills are also not required. Once you've learned all that's needed to work at Prudential, you will have zero external drives to learn new hard skills. Senior leadership may say they value innovation and new ways to improve business, but in reality, your colleagues and KPIs will push back against trying to do anything new. This is terrible for personal and career growth. Unless you actively pursue learning new skills, you may find yourself undesirable by the market - from being overpaid yet underskilled. Especially for younger professionals and competitive fields, this can be catastrophic.
