Pros

IT Finance team achieved a major leadership upgrade upon completion of Chubb merger/acquisition. Historically very strong talent at the AVP level and on down the chain and with new leadership, things have really come together. EVP level above the team is also very strong and fair.

Cons

Growing pains and the seemingly perpetual ITS budget planning cycle that ties down too many resources, unnecessarily. Annual raises tend to be paltry so be sure to negotiate well when you come in. Ask for additional time in vacation as they are also extremely behind the times with only 2 weeks vaca to start.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
