Pros

Generous PTO If you have the right manager, tons of flexibility Chubb hires great people, coworkers are fantastic

Cons

Lack of gender diversity beyond middle management, small group of white males are promoted frequently and that’s it No active effort to recruit minorities to underwriting roles Pay has not kept up with the market Return to work execution was horrendous Financial results are so good because they run so lean - there are few “perks” for employees.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
