RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Newton Europe part-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Personal Development Energy Growth Impact Teamwork No limit on the number of promotions - so no internal competition for places Fun No weekend working (really) Impressive clients Share options for senior team A great place to learn A career accelerator
Cons
All consuming - flat out from 5:30am on a Monday until 6pm on a Friday every week. This could obviously be seen as a strength too! A strong culture for people with previous experience to join - it definitely can and has worked, but it takes time (years) and commitment to see it through Diversity - although there’s been a recent recognition of this and is beginning to change

Pros
Challenging, varied work that is delivered alongside client teams. There is a real focus on development and it is very meritocratic.
Cons
Being on client site 9 days in a fortnight means you are away from home a lot.

Pros
On the whole, friendly and intelligent people. Good pay, great profit share bonuses recently. People are there on merit and no one just coasts along. Opportunities to work on interesting things and get a lot of exposure and responsibility early on.
Cons
Arrogance. Little diversity. There's a Newton style person (white, male, Oxbridge, athletic) and if you don't fit that it can be an uncomfortable place to work. The pay keeps you there and putting up with being miserable. You're sold the dream during the recruitment process but the reality doesn't live up to it. The downside of no one coasting along is the constant threat of being fired, and seeing this happen to lots of people around you. Most activities revolve around alcohol, bringing out the worst in people and causing lots of behaviour you don't expect to see in work, more like a stag party.

Pros
Focus on training and personal development Projects are a lottery - some seem to have quite a nice lifestyle
Cons
Salary low considering work-life balance. People work 80hrs per week on assessments, sometimes for months at a time. Employees under constant threat of performance management or being asked to leave. About half leave in the first year. Most work revolves around making products or systems worse, or making people redundant. Work is often unsustainable and numbers adjusted to tell the right story. A lot of those working there are quietly miserable. Crying at work is normalised.

Pros
Newton is a unique company. It employs fantastically bright, hard working, personable and brilliant people. It supports its employees like no one else, is incredibly reasonable, pragmatic, supportive and generous. I have had the incredible pleasure of 9 fabulous years working there and have made many firends for life, been treated to experiences and opportunities I'd have never had the chance elsewhere and learnt and done things I never though I would!
Cons
The only downside of working at Newton is the fact you have to be away from home quite a lot. This is only really a downside if you don't like being away from home and for me, in my early 20s, I enjoyed it too. Yes it's hard work, and emotionaly draining, but that's worth it when the work you're doing is value adding, has a clear purpose, is making a difference to the businesses and people you're wokring with and you can see the tangible and real improvemets hitting the bottom line of your clients.

The travel - 5 days a week away from home wears you down There isn't an hours culture but be prepared for some long days
