Pros

Good vacation time and immediate managers are generally great and have good intentions. Colleagues are hard working and all want to succeed (for the most part).

Cons

Even if you are top notch with repeat excellent reviews you will be waiting forever for a promotion. There are very few career paths that can be taken even though the company tries to advertise there are limitless opportunities. We all worked from home 100% successfully for over a year with some territories having record growth in 2020. now that covid is starting to be behind us the CEO drew a hard line and basically said we are a work from office company and if you don’t like it then leave. We were allowed to work remotely when it was convenient for Chubb but now all of a sudden it’s an issue. That is just what the employees want to hear after a year of hardship and performing our jobs while also having kids at home at the same time. There has been no explanation for why some positions are not being offered continued remote work after it has been proven there are no issues with it. This kind of attitude from the top really rubs employees the wrong way especially when they are overworked due to understaffing. It is no wonder more and more people are seeking other jobs. If Chubb won’t pay the same as competitors the least they can do is offer more flexibility for remote work in the jobs that can clearly succeed that way.

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.
