Agency vs Product Company: Which is better?

One of the most common debates in software is: should you work at an agency or product company? There certainly are stereotypes to each, but are they true?
In this video, I dissect:
1:10 - Variety of work
3:02 - Pay
5:12 - Quality of Life
Do you agree? Let me know in the comments!

What do you think? Does an agency or a product company suit you better? Is there anything you'd add??

Thanks Man this video help me alot

[@drewbird87]

I haven't had agency experience yet. But it's interesting hearing the sort of "natural" incentives that each business model might have.

[@PeterElbaum]

That's one of the more interesting aspects for me too. Understanding the nature of the business goes a long way in helping you know what it'll be like to work in it :)
