      I have been working at Newton Europe full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      I really love the culture - focus on people and the care that everyone has for doing a good job with clients.

      Cons

      The projects are hard - it’s what makes it feel worthwhile - but it can be tough.

      Advice to Management

      Keep focusing on people and our focus on clients.

      Pros

      Very interesting work, great variety and pay.

      Cons

      Very profit focused, doesn’t sit well with those who put doing the right thing above making money the quickest way possible.

      Advice to Management

      Stick to what you market your brand as. I was attracted to this firm because you claimed to be honest, ethical and uncompromising, putting actual results above monetary gain. Definitely not what I saw.

      I have been working at Newton Europe full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      You get responsibility from day one. You'll be managing your own clients and delivering your own workstreams; there's no hiding behind a laptop or report-writing. It's a perfect balance of technical problem solving and working with people.

      The problems are real and the work is varied. You could spend the morning in an operating theatre, on a submarine, or on a factory floor, and the afternoon crunching numbers with senior stakeholders in the boardroom. You'll leave site at the end of the week knowing you've added value and having make a tangible difference.

      Excellent development opportunities. Feedback and development is fundamental to Newton culture, and everyone has your back to get you to reach your potential. There are no formal qualifications, but the hands-on experience you get at such an early point in your career will speak for itself.

      The social side and job perks are brilliant. There are six weekends away with the company each year, of which you can attend as many or as few as you wish. These include ski trips, activity sports, secret-location city breaks and Edinburgh Fringe, among others. Fortnightly Review Nights and Review Days mean you get to see colleagues from other projects frequently, who will inevitably become some of your closest friends.

      Cons

      The nature of the job means you're away from home a lot, and this won't suit everyone. However, many people find moving around the country and working with different teams/clients exciting.

      Workloads fluctuate so there'll be long hours on some weeks. You're guaranteed to be home by 6pm every Friday, and there's strictly no weekend work, so you can switch-off at the weekend even if it can be difficult to do so mid-week.

      Advice to Management

      Prioritise maintaining the culture and spirit that make Newton so special as we grow.

      Pros

      Newton has an amazing story of growth - built on the quality of people we've hired and the quality of what we deliver to our clients. We continue to break into new markets and impress new clients and thus the sales forecast is very strong.
      People within the business have a strong attachment to it and demand better from every function and project - as such we are continually improving what we do and there is a strong sense of ownership and responsibility.

      Cons

      Everyone at Newton is so committed to the growth and success of the business it creates quite a culture of hard work and success. It's matched by a strong play hard culture too and personal time is respected, but it probably isn't the company for someone who wants a 9-5 with little pressure.
      Newton can be a challenging environment to join when you join as an experienced professional. It's becoming better as we grow, but the initial shock of joining a company with such a strong culture and beliefs can be challenging.

      Advice to Management

      Keep the focus on maintaining the bits of our culture which make us special while encouraging diversity to keep us evolving.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Newton Europe full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Interesting methodology, though it’s nothing special.
      Some (not many) really great people there.

      Cons

      Backstabbing, cult like culture.
      Unless you confirm to the mould you’ll be managed out the business, nothing to do with performance. It’s interesting to see many who don’t contribute ideas that manage to thrive.
      Avoid at all costs, join a real company where managers think about more than themselves.
      A complete lack of understanding as to their assets (people) and a very outdated methodology with no capability to modernise.
      Feedback is often used to destroy confidence and ensure compliance, rarely to do with job performance.

      Advice to Management

      Way too many ADs and drop the terrible culture.

      Pros

      Lots of focus on professional and personal growth/development
      Great responsibility early on
      Good salary package/everything paid for during the week bar lunch

      Cons

      Very little diversity
      Feels like a cult
      If you're not part of the cult-like behaviour, can be uncomfortable
      Not many empathetic people considering the type of work, although this is receiving more attention
      People can be very arrogant
      Work away from home during the week

      Advice to Management

      Focus more on diversity
      Put KPIs on well-being that actually matter and have impact

      Being away from home Monday-Friday, the travel and lifestyle doesn't suit everyone
