Pros

Colleagues are pleasant, room for advancement (to an extent), culture of excellence

Cons

While there is room for advancement, it can be too slow moving and you will end up bored while you wait. In the meantime, leadership is happy to give you new assignments/busy work to distract you from the fact that you're stuck but that have no real impact on your next promotion. Culture of excellence is a pro but this also leads to unrealistic expectations year over year and significant pressure from above. RTO: pretty much everyone has said it but this was poorly handled and it is now my firm belief that as much as Chubb wants to consider itself a place for people with families to work, it no longer is. Being in the office 4-5 days a week does not mesh with family life and responsibilities and there will continue to be people leaving over it as the earliest opportunity. On top of that, there is no logical explanation for why the policy changed considering consecutive years of record results. The job market will shift at some point and the joke will be on Chubb when that time comes.

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.
