How's the feedback proccess at Prudential Financial?
There is an annual process which takes place in January every year. Very few managers do midnyear reviews but some do. You are responsible for writing everything and your boss just writes a summary.

Extremely! More than any other highly specialized professional positions held in past.

How hard it is for such a large, lumbering company to incorporate or coordinate various levels of disconnected systems or modernize archaic operations.

Chaotic! Frustrating! Disorganized! Unimaginably inefficient systems, coordination and dispensation of information.
