Pros

I'm happy to be a shareholder of the company because they know how to make money. Bonuses are also very good (however I think this can also be a con due to the sense of entitlement that it creates, keeping people in roles and in the organization for far too long).

Cons

Culture, leadership, communication, infrastructure. Politics are placed above performance, and there is no safe outlet for employees who wish to voice a concern. All meaningful work seems to be done at the AVP level or below, with many managers at the VP level and above lacking the skills and courage needed to lead, inspire, and innovate to stay competitive.

Pros

Global reach, brand name/reputation, nice technology equipment and solid networking. Opportunity for internal mobility. Good 401k match.

Cons

Incredibly slow systems and stifling bureaucracy. Culture is overall relaxed but not very hospitable, which is likely both a symptom and cause of a high-turnover environment. Raises are well below inflation. Moral does not seem considerably high and the bureaucratic nature of work hinders development. All of these factors combined negatively impact motivation. Very little open discussion about marketplace trends and tedious processes make the role feel very administrative despite being more analytical at other firms who have improved their systems. The firm has done a great job of diversifying across product lines and geographies, but a very poor job of talent retention and upgrading systems, which are the long-term tailwinds that’ll put Chubb at the forefront of the industry.
