      Positive Outlook

      I have been working at Newton Europe full-time (More than 8 years)

      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.

      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      A complete lack of understanding as to their assets (people) and a very outdated methodology with no capability to modernise.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

      The people are some of the brightest, most driven, nicest people you will ever meet. They are always pushing the envelope of what is possible and form amazing client relationships as a result

      Cons

      You do have to spend significant time away from home during the week, but it’s made up for by having clear weekends.

      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

      Pros

      I feel like the work I do makes a valuable difference to my clients. I also love the people I work with - it’s fun, respectful and highly charged.

      Cons

      There’s no doubt that the travel and being away on client sites is a pain at times, but personally I like the variety of people and places.

      Advice to Management

      Don’t lose our focus on people and genuine value add with our client’s. Keep us different to other consultancies.

      Great team work culture, fun events and a leadership team that's really interested in its people. Great training and development.

      Cons

      Long hours and does not pay as much as other consultancies for more senior role. Salaries are shown as packages which can be difficult to interpret.
