Pros

Absolutely None. Baltimore office had nothing positive going for it. Snobs.

Cons

Absolute worst place I have ever worked. Unrealistic work load. More and more work piled on you that you could never get close to even being caught up or ahead. Underwriters demanded that you do all of their work for them. If you took even one day off, you would return at least a week or more back in the "hole." No work/life balance. Nasty, spiteful, berating Underwriters. Management made you feel useless and you could never do anything correctly, no matter how hard you tried. Favoritism. Never trust the managers. NEVER trust HR.

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.
