Pros

I've been with the company for almost 19 years, departing once for another opportunity. Good benefits, continuous growth. I'd still recommend it for new hires, depends on your track and where you want to grow. Support functions are the leanest and most overlooked for investment and growth, but it's still pretty solid. You want a place to stay for the next 5 years and get some experience and street cred on your resume, Chubb is it.

Cons

I worked in Ops/IT for a large part of that time and there was so much change in leadership and from what I can tell still is. The company doesn't make the right investments in technology, is only interested in technology that supports external customers, no investment in internal process improvement and operational excellence. They talk about DEI and sponsor resource groups and yet, every C level promotion is a middle age white male, even in APAC regions! I'm currently managed by said middle age white male and he can barely share a document in One Drive using the link feature and yet part of his responsibilities includes technology oversight for our department. The bar for white male leaders is low and its tiring. The rest of us have to be excellent in order to keep the wheels from falling off.

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.
