Pros

Great benefits. Large footprint in the property/casualty insurance space gives you exposure to numerous types of markets. Great experience.

Cons

Extremely high workload, and pay is much lower then other carriers in the property casualty industry. Senior management only seems to care about the bottom line of profit no matter the cost to their employees physical or emotional well-being. Working as the equivalent of 1 1/2 FTE is not a one off exception it is expected there. This company is Chubb in name only now. It is managed as ACE through and through.

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.
