Pros

Good learning experience, a lot of possibilities for cool projects

Cons

- 20 day notice to return to office - Only 1 day a week WFH — no flexibility - Old management styles - Lots of outsourcing Other companies are being smart and allowing tech workers to continue to WFH AT LEAST 2-3 days a week. Several employees are planning on leaving due to the lack of flexibility. This is 2021 — Chubb needs to understand that if your profit is high and productivity is high, there is no reason to bring people back to the office

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.
