Prudential states their "evaluation process helps us get to know you, your skills and your professional background, and how they align with our culture, the role you're applying for and your future professional growth." They state that for each opening, they'll select several qualified applicants for phone and in-person interviews. You may also be asked to complete a digital interview (HireVue) as part of our screening process for select roles. During the interview process, you'll work with their hiring team and meet some of the people who would be your colleagues if hired. This last step is typically a final test to allow their teams to briefly evaluate you. So every engagement matters. Try to spend as much time preparing and practicing for your HireVue interview as possible to put your best foot forward.
