Pros

Chubb has flexible working including working from home, a good benefits package including medical, pension and subsidised gym membership, and has a culture of trusting and empowering staff.

Cons

Can be slow to move forward technologically. Several years of frozen head count have limited possibilities of advancement. There is a danger now with the Ace takeover that good IT practices could be replaced with inferior ones in certain areas.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
