Pros

Was a fantastic place to work. Management was great at getting the best out of their people while also promoting a good work life balance. The talent was amazing. Chubb only hired who they though were the best out there. Chubb acvieved top notch results and underwriting profit and was highly regarded in the market. Hence why Ace bought us but had to keep our name.....

Cons

Ace just bought us, and they don't appear to have the slightest idea of what they're doing. They have cut out some critical ex Chubb managers from the picture and are trying to overhaul something that did not need to be overhauled.

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.
