Prudential plc Reviews

I worked at Prudential plc

Pros – It's a relaxed work environment and leaves you good time to focus on your other career plans - particularly continuing education. Plus the company provides good support for Actuarial education.

Cons – The career growth is rather slow and rigid.

Advice to Senior Management – There should be a market competitive study support for Actuarial.

Pros – I'll say it first. If you are have to choose a career in insurance... it's objectively one of the best choices, this coming from someone who greatly dislikes the industry.
