Nice post but I think you missed a few. On the best things about in-house, no timesheets! I never have to track my billable or non-billable time. I second your besties, though. Another one I think is important to point out is gaining industry experience. Let’s say you work for an in-house marketing department within a business sector. You’re much more marketable for switching to another company from one in in the same industry. Now for the worst things: I’d say lack of creativity. You said corporate-ness. That’s part of it maybe but for my world, it’s being creative when most in marketing department are about analytics, metrics, coordination. I’m the odd duck. Or, they just don’t see me that way as they did in ad agencies. All in all, this post is a nice topic and contributes to the discussion that needs to happen.
