Pros

Chubb was a phenomenal company prior to the merger. The level of inclusion and diversity was top notch. I cannot speak for what it will be post merger as my job was eliminated.

Cons

The speed with which decisions were made just prior to and after the merger was unrealistic. Leadership did not appropriately evaluate talent. Most decisions were made based on third party information and many employees did not even have the opportunity to "interview" or share their qualifications with decision makers. Significant talent was lost. A significant lack of leadership at the VP level was evident. Especially prepping employees for next steps, what to anticipate and creating opportunities for employees to get in front of the decisions makers face to face. There was evidence of favoritism at that level.

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.
