Newton Europe Reviews

Pros

Really good culture compared to the more cutthroat consultancies Whilst the work is tough, the teams are supportive and your colleagues are really fun to be around The work can be industry changing You get exposure to clients in the first week Throughout the company development is a key topic meaning everyone is always striving to improve Open and transparent, and not afraid to continuously look for and areas in which the company/ culture can improved Leadership are approachable

Cons

Work can be stressful, having to persevere on a project before the results go in the right direction, but the team atmosphere means you don’t feel like it’s just you on a problem

Pros

Fun and nice people who you can make genuine friends with Lots of scope to develop especially in the first few years of your career (although it is hard work) Culture based on principles and not processes - so there is a lot of flexibility in how things are done Social events People in charge genuinely want to improve things even though it might not always look that way (reading some of the comments on here)

Cons

Can be inward-looking - Newton could do more to look at innovation outside and make better use of experienced hires' knowledge. It can get a bit much and take over your life (work and social) especially if you don't have experience of working elsewhere. It's important to have boundaries and take time for yourself during the work week. Diversity and inclusion is an area of development - work is being done to improve this but there's still a long way to go especially for senior team diversity and inclusion of experienced hires

Pros

Great culture of excellence Incredibly friendly and genuine colleagues Nice work environment Challenging and rewarding work Supportive management and HR team Good remuneration Excellent benefits

Cons

Quite a high-pressure environment Consultants spend a lot of time away from home Can be competitive

Pros

- Surrounded by incredibly intelligent and driven people - Making a massive difference to clients - Collaborative culture - Fun events - Everyone lives by the values

Cons

- High pressure is a con for some

Pros

The colleagues are generally phenomenal, most people are high energy, outgoing and personable which is just great to be around. Ownership and accountability from the start, lots of room for personal growth and development. I don't think I would have gotten line management experience in the first 2 years of my career in any other job. Over time the experience of working in multiple sectors and getting a range of experiences is likely Early career lifestyle is great, gives you flexibility to be located anywhere in the UK (many grads live at home for a while to save money) and while on client sites get to enjoy the novelty of hotels and food budget. The whole company events every other week and one weekend every other month are just incredible. EDI is a big focus for the company that they're taking seriously, they know they're not great and are actively working to improve it! The company has generally done very well over the covid period and has put employee welfare and happiness as a really strong focus to drive retention while many people are working from home.

Cons

Can lead to burnout through tricky client stakeholders where change takes time and through over working yourself to stick to deadlines for an extended period of time. The travel isn't ideal when you've got a significant other at home or generally like your own bed, this improves with seniority but travel is still the norm roughly four nights a week. Many projects can feel simple to solve but challenging to implement, which isnt quite the job many people signed up for in terms of technical challenge. Newton are a fantastic implementation consultancy, but due to the fees they charge and the guarantee of results there has recently been a lot more public sector (healthcare and defense) projects and fewer private ones, as there are very few private business problems which are high value enough that Newton has the expertise to solve. Which is a worrying trend. Promotion is rapid compared to other industries and some competitors, but it is somewhat capped such that you wont get promoted outside of a certain timeframe, meaning the motivation to go above and beyond can drop off, as you realise you're taking on more work than you have to for little reward outside of the personal stretch.
