Pros

After many many years I came to liken working at Chubb to the above mentioned Stockholm Syndrome, to develop a sympathy with ones captors. The people for the most part are great, I believe that because the type of person required to survive the environment that Chubb presents, must be a very special person. Apart from the great people, there is nothing special.

Cons

A three year battle with stage 4 cancer did not kill me, not my spirit, nor break my body, but working at Chubb did get me very close. If you are in the market for textbook examples of how to destroy a once great company from the inside out then Chubb is your place. It breaks my heart actually, what has become of the company that I used to imagine myself retiring in, I have since moved on to a competitor and I can say that this time I will never ever return, life is just too short.

Pros

Global reach, brand name/reputation, nice technology equipment and solid networking. Opportunity for internal mobility. Good 401k match.

Cons

Incredibly slow systems and stifling bureaucracy. Culture is overall relaxed but not very hospitable, which is likely both a symptom and cause of a high-turnover environment. Raises are well below inflation. Moral does not seem considerably high and the bureaucratic nature of work hinders development. All of these factors combined negatively impact motivation. Very little open discussion about marketplace trends and tedious processes make the role feel very administrative despite being more analytical at other firms who have improved their systems. The firm has done a great job of diversifying across product lines and geographies, but a very poor job of talent retention and upgrading systems, which are the long-term tailwinds that’ll put Chubb at the forefront of the industry.
