Pros

Chubb was a phenomenal company prior to the merger. The level of inclusion and diversity was top notch. I cannot speak for what it will be post merger as my job was eliminated.

Cons

The speed with which decisions were made just prior to and after the merger was unrealistic. Leadership did not appropriately evaluate talent. Most decisions were made based on third party information and many employees did not even have the opportunity to "interview" or share their qualifications with decision makers. Significant talent was lost. A significant lack of leadership at the VP level was evident. Especially prepping employees for next steps, what to anticipate and creating opportunities for employees to get in front of the decisions makers face to face. There was evidence of favoritism at that level.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
