PGIM Real Estate Finance Interviews

Hey guys, I am getting ready for the interview at Pru in Real Estate Investment Analyst position. is there anyone who went through the process and can share some experience? it's a second round of interviews with the team in one of the regional offices. i did some research at WSO but most of them are about PGIM Real Estate which is the investment arm. PGIM REF is the lending arm. any input is much appreciated. thx!

I've never gotten past a first round on campus interview with them, but it was 2 on 1 and they seemed to love tying things back to the overall insurance company. Mine was for fixed income trading but might be a good idea to be prepared to speak about their business as a whole and how investing can more than offset claims, macro risks that may affect this. Every question seemed to go back to this for me and they were reading from a cheat sheet, might be an hiring trend?

 

I had interview with Madison(no success), they are the equity investors, they have multifamily fund. PGIM Real Estate is equity PGIM Real Estate Finance is lender two different businesses, don't get confused. don't know about the comps but heard from the interviewer that the culture is great( seemed quite genuine)

You will likely interview with up to six people in the regional office including the entire deal team (I'm assuming this is an originations role), potentially members of another group like portfolio management and, less likely, senior leadership (all will depend on which office you are interviewing with). Generally, you will be evaluated for 1) Experience/Passion for CRE and 2) Cultural Fit. This is not a super day so I wouldn't expect any brain teasers, but I would know your deals inside and out and have a sound understanding of CRE finance fundamentals. You are an off-cycle hire likely replacing a recently-departed or soon-to-depart analyst so your ability to prove how transferable your skills/experience are will be paramount. Pru in general is a pretty relaxed place with smart, good people; just be yourself and prove that you can add value. If you've made it this far you should have decent level of confidence in your ability to succeed with the organization. Good luck!
