Pros

Good salary and probably some of the best benefit packages in the area.

Cons

- Reliance on proprietary frameworks (used exclusively by this company) with no documentation or support, despite the job description and interviews requiring years of experience with other frameworks - High-pressure, sink-or-swim work culture - Lack of team cohesion, with global teams competing rather than collaborating, even though the company develops its own products - Overcrowded offices with limited space and parking, alongside a mandatory three-day in-office hybrid policy. The company has officially confirmed plans for a full return to office once additional space is acquired - Subpar equipment provided to developers

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.
