Pros

Smart, driven colleagues, fantastic brand and knowledge base in the industry. Very collaborative approach, everything from underwriting to managing a group. Lots of support and a very strong culture. HEAVY promoters of talent from within. Higher % of compensation variable, from what I've seen from other competitors.

Cons

Slow to move in the face of change. Do what they do very well, but hesitant to embrace new ideas/less entrepreneurial. Strong political culture, important to network internally for success. The pending acquisition by ACE provides a lot of uncertainty.

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.
