Pros

Other than the free parties and gorgeous office? That's pretty much it.

Cons

The higher ups intentionally breed a "competitive" work space. Instead of creating productivity, this attitude--especially from the CFO--has led to a toxic, catty, sneaky work environment. As the other reviewers mentioned, you will be taken advantage of and never see the benefit. This company lures talented employees, pays them under industry standards, and uses their ideas without giving due credit. Let me use a metaphor. Deveney is like a house made of interrogation room glass. All shiny on the outside, but you can't see through it when you're interviewing [being interrogated?] for the job. Once you get inside and start working, you'll quickly realize that the shiny house is empty and was built on a foundation of manipulation and half-truths. Employees have left (and continue to leave) this company in droves, myself included.

Pros

I've been with DEVENEY for nearly 13 years, and it's been an incredibly rewarding journey. The flexibility the agency offers has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally—something that’s rare in the fast-paced world of PR and marketing. One of the biggest highlights is the client roster. From globally recognized brands to mission-driven nonprofits, the work is meaningful, diverse, and constantly evolving. It keeps you sharp and inspired. But what truly sets DEVENEY apart is the people. The team here is more than just coworkers—we genuinely care about one another, celebrate wins together, and show up during the tough times. That sense of camaraderie and shared purpose is hard to find and has been the foundation of my longevity here.

Cons

Media cycles don’t stop, and staying ahead of trends, news, and digital changes requires constant awareness, even outside traditional work hours.
