Pros

If you want to get your foot in the door of a large insurance company

Cons

Everything. Management that is against its employees and has the "gotcha in the act" attitude. Always micromanaging and not working as a team, rather looking for their own spotlight. Every time an email is sent out underwriters have to have every manager included on the email and if they forget someone then they are called into a managers' office and told how awful they are. Its the most negative environment I've ever experienced. If you have common sense and are intelligent, watch out. If you have drool running out of your mouth and a yes man kind of person then you are fine.

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.
