- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
great company to be a part of generous salary great benefits good culture
Cons
no cons I loved working for this company
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Remuneration - the company pays well, the work is often impactful and the benefits are good e.g. profit share. But the company owns you Mon - Fri and 9-5pm does not exist. However, weekends are largely protected. Career development - a strong commitment to professional development. Although the culture can encourage people to hide behind rigid HR processes and the feedback is far too deficit based. Impact - individuals are empowered to get involved with well-meaning and fun internal initiatives e.g. Pride. But this can be tough as due to the highly pressured environment and demands on time. Socials - a huge amount is spent on some great team bonding and information sharing events e.g. Review Nights / Days - although there does need to be much clearer boundary setting. Quality of workforce - consultants are largely good at what they do (although this can encourage arrogance and a lack of humility). People work hard. The recruitment process is rigorous for HQ too, but this encourages ‘more of the same’ and not enough diversity across the board.
Cons
Diversity - The vast majority (circa 95%) of senior management are white males. Improvement is slow, D&I initiatives are basic and excuses are plenty (hire a real D&I expert). A lot of lip service and no real progress. Leadership - department heads at HQ hide behind infinitely more talented junior colleagues. Utterly uninspiring and lacking in any creativity - particularly marketing and ops. Inclusion - if someone dares to go against the grain, or show any kind of difference (sadly, I count mental health here) they are often pinpointed as a problem and ‘exited’. People often aren’t treated as individuals. There are many highly academic people, but some struggle to recognise their own lack of empathy and internal biases. Work / life balance - it’s a young person’s game. Consultants are onsite during the week dedicated to client work. HQ colleagues are often overloaded and pulled in too many directions.

- Former Employee★★★★★

Long days and Long hours.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Pay package is good compared to most other places as a grad.
Cons
Absolutely no diversity. Only 2 women in senior leadership roles and even fewer people of other ethnic/ cultural backgrounds. This isn't seen as an issue or priority by management. Absolutely no care for people's mental wellbeing.
We appreciate your feedback and value your opinion and we would like to take the opportunity to address a few points that you have raised if we may. At Newton, we are striving to ensure that diversity and inclusion is celebrated and at the heart of what we do. We want to make Newton a place where everyone feels welcome, included and can thrive, and it is one of our top priorities. We’ve appointed an EDI manager to help us become a place of workplace equality. We acknowledge that one person alone cannot achieve this, so we have created an internal diversity network group who play an important role in supporting employees from different cultural backgrounds, regularly holding meetings, panel discussions and networking sessions. We have also restructured our board to be more representative in terms of both gender and diversity. We’re all about implementation at Newton and as such it’s not enough to just set out a vision – we’re here to make it a reality too. In that spirit, we have set ourselves tangible targets in four different areas of diversity, which will ensure that we reflect society more broadly, as well as the clients we work with. Our internal network (N Groups) are internally run, grassroots initiatives and consist of N-Clude, Wom-N, N-Pride, mental and physical disability and ethnicity networks. They are designed to give a voice to all our people and support a more inclusive environment. Finally, we know that we need to support the well-being of our people to ensure that they feel welcome, included and can thrive. We hold fortnightly people N-gauge survey and monthly people discussions and have appointed mental health first aiders. We have just launched a new Employee Assistance Programme service which offers counselling sessions as well as dedicated mental health support and 24/7 GP service to all employees. To help promote day-to-day well-being we are appointing champions across our business areas. If you wish to discuss any of the points raised with us in confidence, please do reach out to the Employer Brand team.
