Tech Director | Backend, Ops and Technical Communication at North Kingdom | Ex creative coder climbing up (serverless, IAC) and down (operating systems, c) the stack.
In the same way that there are amazing and horrible big corps, and amazing and horrible startups, not all agencies are the same. My experience is mostly in a highly specialized type of agency (creative digital production) and we have amazing developers, challenging projects, super motivated folks, and really nice projects to work on that get a lot of exposure. Environment is fast-paced, and I don't think salaries are below market.
Not to say that there are no cons to working here. There definitely are, but I always feel like the word agency gets a bit of contempt around here and I think it's a pity because I feel depending on your goals and the kind of stuff you'd like to work with, an agency could definitely be a match for many people.
