I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb (Warren, NJ) in Jan 2009
Interview
Caught the attention of the TIS department manager by showing my interest and enthusiasm towards Chubb. I was then contacted for a phone interview, consisting of generic behavioral interview questions. Within a few days, I was asked to come to the Warren headquarters and interview with the leads of each SBU.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What can you tell me about Underwriting? This was a very general question. Very difficult to answer without preparation or prior industry work experience.
The interview process consisted of three rounds, including conversations with team members and leadership. Discussions focused on experience, technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and overall fit for the role and organization.

Question 1
Describe a time you faced a challenge at work and how you handled it.
My interview with Chubb gave me a strong understanding of both the company’s culture and the expectations of the underwriting role.
We discussed how Chubb operates as a global leader in insurance, with a strong emphasis on risk assessment, client relationships, and long-term financial stability. The team highlighted that underwriting at Chubb is not just technical, but also relationship-driven. Success in the role requires analytical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to balance risk with business opportunity.
3 interviews in total - 1 screening and 2 in-person. Not very technical. Salary for a first-time position is great (associate role). 30-minute interview. 2-3 people will be attending the meeting alongside you.
