LIFE AT NEWTON WHAT WE VALUE
Working at Newton
We pride ourselves on creating a workplace where fun and friendship is as important as high performance and delivering real impact for our clients. That's why we get together every 2 weeks to solve some of the biggest challenges faced by our clients, why we organise weekends away together and why we have the Newton Foundation which aims to help tackle bigger issues like social mobility and homelessness.
Who better to tell you about life at Newton than those who live it?

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
We go to great lengths to ensure the training and development we offer is
second-to-none and it’s widely considered a valuable asset among Newton consultants.
Our graduates go through a similar developmental journey up to their first promotion, but after that, plans are tailored to individual’s strengths and aspirations. Every single Newton employee is assigned a personal Development Manager whose aim is to help fulfil those ambitions and expand their horizons.
Induction
Weeks 1–4
A 4-week intense induction where you will learn about Newton’s core methodology with a Founding Director. We’ll teach you all the key skills needed to be a consultant and you’ll spend one week applying this on-site.
Extra Induction

After a few months, you’ll return with your induction cohort for a two-day refresher course. This will give you a chance to discuss your experiences and build on the skills you learnt in induction.
