Pros

Solid benefits, pretty flexible schedule, nice office. Life appears nice if you are at the top. Work here for 2-3 years if you are out of college and learn as much as you can, and then start looking elsewhere. The people are truly great here, but trust nobody.

Cons

High turnover, most employees are just a number, culture varies by office, & pay is below average. Senior management sets high plan expectations because if the departments hit them, that is money in their pocket - The bonus $ that is passed on to Underwriters is a joke for the amount of business they bind. Not much room to grow here unless you put 5+ years in. Good 'ole boys club at the top that is all behind closed doors.

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.
