I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb (Simsbury, CT) in Mar 2017
Interview
Easy, laid paid interview. Know your facts. Straight forward process. They made an offer quickly which most insurance companies take forever. Overall it was a pretty painful process. HR asked to compete online application which included my current salary. They came back and offered less than what I was currently making. Advice to HR: actually read the online app you asks people to complete, so you don't offer lower than what they are making.
The interview process consisted of three rounds, including conversations with team members and leadership. Discussions focused on experience, technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and overall fit for the role and organization.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you faced a challenge at work and how you handled it.
My interview with Chubb gave me a strong understanding of both the company’s culture and the expectations of the underwriting role.
We discussed how Chubb operates as a global leader in insurance, with a strong emphasis on risk assessment, client relationships, and long-term financial stability. The team highlighted that underwriting at Chubb is not just technical, but also relationship-driven. Success in the role requires analytical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to balance risk with business opportunity.
3 interviews in total - 1 screening and 2 in-person. Not very technical. Salary for a first-time position is great (associate role). 30-minute interview. 2-3 people will be attending the meeting alongside you.
