Pros

After many many years I came to liken working at Chubb to the above mentioned Stockholm Syndrome, to develop a sympathy with ones captors. The people for the most part are great, I believe that because the type of person required to survive the environment that Chubb presents, must be a very special person. Apart from the great people, there is nothing special.

Cons

A three year battle with stage 4 cancer did not kill me, not my spirit, nor break my body, but working at Chubb did get me very close. If you are in the market for textbook examples of how to destroy a once great company from the inside out then Chubb is your place. It breaks my heart actually, what has become of the company that I used to imagine myself retiring in, I have since moved on to a competitor and I can say that this time I will never ever return, life is just too short.

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.
