I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb in Jan 2019
Interview
It started with a phone interview that lasted around 10 minutes. Behavioural questions, mostly. Then, I met with multiple team leaders in person. 30 mins with the first two persons, 30 mins with more senior managers. It was a mix of typical questions ( what should you work on, etc. ) and weirder questions ( one of us is an alien, who is it and why ).
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.
Multiple Interview process that starts with internal recruiting phone screening. Expect at least 3 different interviews with different levels of management. Be ready for both technical and personality questions to really dive into who you are.
