I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2018
Interview
My first interview was over lunch with VP and Underwriting Manager. I was called back for interviews with department underwriters, assistances, HR and head office managers. The interviews were 15 minutes each, totalling 2 1/2 hours with 10 individuals. The staff was friendly and openly discussed work flow, job experience, and company culture.

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.
