Agencies Work you hard but usually more reliable consistent and atmosphere if your not caught up in some political bullshit.
But most good startups will not hire without agency experience.With start ups, you have to have good chemistry. Depends also on start up cash, who what, where, when,... its a roller coaster ride. One day your happy next day its chaos. The relationship dynamics in a startup will change fast especially if you are with a start focused on scalable growth.
Once the start up reaches over 30 people you will not recognized where you are anymore. which also will create some people drama and people trying to show value in power struggles.
Also plan to see people come and go as start up culture in management is heavily focused on if someone is right for the job for sake of scalable growth and your contribution to the start up on all levels.... if it survives and there is a good exit plan. You can make out pretty nicely, if you survive the early stages with a good contract,
Depends on the personality. However alot of good startups focus on your professional relationships in early stages. This is the new mantra of a quality person in leadership. in how many quality people will follow you from your old job. So agency relationships are important in this dynamic. The start up will focus on specific agency talent for this reason.
Also agencies seem to be one way for startups to pitch to an agencies client if they have a specific company targeted startup product or service.
