Pros

Great work/life balance, solid compensation and benefits, the name and reputation of the company is stellar and having it on your resume would get your foot in the door of other companies. There are a ton of positions open at all times if you want to move around the company, but the hiring process for those roles can be political at times.

Cons

Still some growing pains (culture, watered down benefits if you came from legacy-Chubb) from the acquisition. A lot of top-down pressure to grow and to also be perfect. Old systems, but apparently they're investing $1B a year into technology.

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.
