Pros

Good social networking events & interesting projects and clients

Cons

A lot of travel, low budgets for accommodation, especially if London based. Young managers that dont know how to manage, long hours with an 8am-6pm as standard expectation and often doing more, high pressure. Not diverse in thinking or types of people. A lot of people end up off on leave due to anxiety and stress or other mental health reasons due to burn out. Toxic culture. Cheeky that their offer is a package that includes your pension and healthcare so your base is significantly lower than expected when joining.

Pros

I got recruited from the US - without a doubt, working at Newton turbo-charged my professional development compared to opportunities available to me in the States. I worked on numerous projects, each of which presented a unique and challenging problem to solve; I got to work with some incredible individuals; all the while, I felt I had an amazing support network from my peers, my supervisors, and the upper management. The culture is amazing, and you really get the sense that people care about you, your clients, and the company. There's also a work-hard-play-hard mentality, so everybody is a ton of fun to hang out with.

Cons

While my professional life was great, the consulting lifestyle naturally takes its toll on your social life. My situation was exacerbated by the fact I came from overseas and didn't have existing friends, so I could only really spend time getting to know my coworkers. Additionally, the company is currently going through some growing pains as it becomes a larger business; however, nearly all of the issues are admin/strategic.
