A new study by Brill Street, a gen y career site (full disclosure—my fiancé does some work for them) highlights the top 50 companies to work for in Chicago. The study gives an inside look into the companies through short videos on its site, including areas such as compensation and benefits, perks, corporate social responsibility, advancement potential, training opportunities, jobs for Generation Y, and the nature of day-to-day work.
I’m also proud to say that Edelman (my employer) is ranked fifth on the list—check out the video here. There are a number of other creative agencies on the list as well, including Marketing Werks (#9), Digitas (#14), Razorfish (#17) and Leap Frog Online (#42).

That’s cool that your employer is on the list!

I’m happy to see some non-Fortune-500 companies on there. Good to see the little guys recognized as cool places to work too.
I see a bunch of my Beyond The Pedway interviewees too, that’s exciting! Speaking of which, if you ever need a list of creative Chicago companies when you’re helping out those job seeking, BeyondThePedway.com can help!
Kinda funny that Encyclopedia Britannica is on that list…

Thank you for posting this list. I am graduating in May and it’s good to know that there are some companies that may actually be looking to hire us.
Also, I have always been a fan of Edelman’s work, but I didn’t know how much they embraced corporate citizenship at their own office. Now I want to work there even more. I have an interview for an internship position Monday!
