Pros

The company has a good reputation in the marketplace with solid financials, which gives job security. Benefits are decent and there's a good amount of paid time off but you are always too overwhelmed to actually use all of the days.

Cons

The work loads are extremly excessive which make it tough to meet corporate goals and expectations. The entire company is under-staffed and upper management has made no attempts to actually hire additional employees. The company is beyond conservitive and rarely changes with the marketplace. The systems are literally from the 1980's which creates a massive amount of manual processes. There is an over-emphansis on diversity and promotions are not solely granted on talent or skills.

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.
