pros and cons of working as a developer in a digital agency

• onboarding process (training and support) to understand how you will be brought into the team;

• certification processes, how you can grow within, what paths there are;

• what projects the agency works with and why;

• who is on the team, what is its structure, who is the team leader;

• It is advisable to talk with the team lead before employment to understand whether you are suitable for each other. What seems important to you in work and code may not be of value to him;

• what tools you will have to work with – even trivial, whether Git and Docker are used.

You can see developer ratings in the “Runet Rating” on the subject “what companies are on the market” and study their websites, portfolios and cases.

If the agency has its own developments, that’s a plus. This means that managers and the company are trying to make their own products, and not just resell time, thus acting not as a technical partner with their own expertise, but as a recruiting agency.

We'd love to hear your experience in the comments.
