Pros

They paid on time, nice offices

Cons

Where to start about this company and my employment experience here.. I entered this role with many years underwriting experience and was absolutely shocked and disappointed in the mismanagement and disarray of the underwriting centre. The manager was a young woman who just outlived other employees (no doubt wasn’t able to get employment elsewhere due to “people skills” There was no solid underwriting guidelines, the team as a whole were very undertrained and put under intense time pressures. Sales staff regularly undermine the underwriting team and there is little to no relationship with brokers as a result The pay is low in comparison to the rest of the insurance industry and there is little to nil possibility progression through the company

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.
