Pros

Big Brand name in the insurance industry Very stable company CEO is a veteran in the industry and comes from a family of insurance tycoons Lot of opportunity to modernize in the technology world Director and above get decent pay with Base Pay, Bonus and Stocks.

Cons

Information Technology overall and the Information Security Team overall is very very resource crunched. There seems to be no care from Executive Management about the lack of Work Life Balance and employee burnout. No special care event was organized by the company during the pandemic. Rather employees are forced to return to office as soon as the numbers go down a little. Everyone is burnt out. Senior Management keeps talking about work life balance and culture in town halls, while nothing changes in day to day life. Clocking 50+ hours (avg 55 to 60 hours a week) is the norm. CEO doesn't seem to understand Technology or the importance of it, as is also evident from a recent conference speak. Chubb is not a preferred destination for niche technology talent, and the company is doing nothing to change that perception

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.
