Pros

Pros - flexible work arrangements, autonomy, amazing coworkers, management's commitment to your development

Cons

Work environment is not conducive to retaining a young person like myself. But the insurance industry as a whole is a "silver" one, and I'm often the youngest in the room. The pay isn't enough. For an older employee, lesser pay may be a viable trade off to be able to work from home, have flexible hours, and etc. But for young talent like myself, those benefits wont really be applicable until 7+ years from now. So it's getting hard for me justifying to myself why I should stay at a company paying me way less than what a competitor would. Atleast give me some good and useful perks, or revamp this whole cubicle farm setup!

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.
