Pros

Chubb (ACE) is a great company to work for, especially starting as a professional associate. There is a lot of room for growth and job opportunities in many fields (underwriting, reinsurance, finance, etc.).

Cons

Technology is outdated and could definitely use a lot of updates and more support from IT. They also favor underwriting departments quite a bit. Obviously that's an integral part of the business, but the supporting roles should not feel ignored when the company needs those to succeed as well.

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.
