01
Consultant first
Everything at Devon is built so the consultant comes first. Not in the marketing — in the numbers. When you feel good you do good work. We're nothing more complicated than that.
About
Devon was started so it could be simple.
Letter from the founder
I'd tried most of it in consulting — big firms, small firms. It wasn't that I'd had bad employers; it was that I noticed there was another way, and few were taking it.
The big ones took a big slice of the billing to pay for an organisation the consultants rarely saw the use of. The smaller ones talked about culture but built models that still put the company first. And everywhere there was the assumption that you had to be “passionate” in a particular way to count.
Devon is an attempt to make it simple: you do good work, a small part stays with the company, the rest is yours. The consultant keeps the larger share of what they bring in, decides for themselves what to take out as salary and vacation, and sets their own hours. Want to work a lot — work a lot. Want time off — take time off. It's no one else's business.
No mandatory afterworks. No required retreats. No prestige.
It isn't revolutionary. It's just more reasonable.
Mikael, founder of Devon
Three principles
What Devon is built on.
02
Freedom
You choose your salary, your assignments, your hours, your vacation. We're there when you need us, and out of the way when you don't.
03
Transparency
You see everything. How we calculate, how we price, how we decide. It moves fast because there's no hidden layer.
More than consulting
Devon isn't only a consultancy.
Alongside our assignments we build our own systems, and we're co-owners of another development company. It means we know what it's like on the other side of the table — as the buyer, the owner, the ones who have to live with the code.
Sounds like you? Then we'll be in touch.
Or you reach out first. We're not particular about it.
