Great place to work - but only if you fit into a narrow type of extroverted person. - Underwriter Chubb Employee Review

Pros

The work as an Underwriter is good as Chubb's brand holds a lot of weight.

Cons

The people are for the most part nice, but the entire company is littered with young, loud-mouthed frat boys from University of Guelph or Wilfrid Laurier. EXTREMELY little cultural diversity on the floor. I can count on one hand the number of non-caucasian people.

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.
