Pros

Plenty of work and the challenges are there to keep everybody energized and excited. The company in itself was an excellent employer and had town halls and rewarded it's employees well.

Cons

Working in IT was a roller coaster. Due to a single executive, who undeservedly moved up the ranks, several people quit or were suddenly and mysteriously let go and my hunch was that it was becausue they were deemed a threat. Morale in the IT group deterioted very rapidly and many seem to hang on only because the company is a great employer but the IT department is not.

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.
