Pros

Good work life balance. Reasonable pension & other benefit options. Free monthly fry up brekkie!

Cons

No opportunities for advancement if you are not an UW. Local managers not necessarily following correct procedures then backed by senior managers. Incessant focus on the here and now with no strategic direction. The same things are said every year about changes to make but then they are not achieved. Pointless annual appraisal system that is a waste of everyone's time. Being told the company is doing great 11 months of every year but in the 12th month at pay review time there is never any money - bonuses particularly bad with no structure at all as to how they are calculated. Continual carping about expenses - but managers don't walk the walk - just talk the talk. They are unwilling to pay enough to properly replace experienced people who leave resulting in under-qualified staff under-performing.

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.
