How is it being a creative at the in-house agencies in Chicago these days? The Kitchen, Whirlpool, PepsiCo, etc.

Overall Pepsi has been nice. Lately it’s been a bit slow because biz is down. Wlb is great, I don’t worry about layoffs, the actual work isn’t Cannes winning but it’s not boring

Probably different at each one. At the Kitchen the people are great, work is okay, pay is decent, and WLB is usually good.

Speaking of this topic, does anyone know of any other in-house Chicago agencies aside from the ones you mentioned? I also know McD’s and AbbVie but that’s it

I think theres some Draftline people in Chicago. There’s smaller stuff too like Dyson, Chomps, Vital Proteins

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
