Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed working with your colleagues, and received a good level of support. We recognise that the client-facing nature of our work can be pressured at times, although we very much hope that there are peaks and troughs throughout the year in terms of pressure, workload and working hours. We do our best to monitor this, but also encourage individuals to speak with their line managers if they are feeling too much pressure. If you have any further feedback about your experience of medical writing, please let me know (emma.king@costellomedical.com).

Pros

I think it's really the people that make Costello a nice place to work. I love the people on my project teams and in my divisions. They are so friendly and supportive and I have learnt so much from them. Even the senior staff make sure they are really available and I don't feel like any question is too small. I think the flat structure helps with that a lot - they aren't scary managers you want to avoid. They are people you enjoy working with much like the people at the same level as you. I enjoy working on really different projects too. I've been able to work across some different divisions and that has meant I can test out which areas of the business are best for me. I joined Costello straight from uni so didn't know this industry at all or which areas I would enjoy the most. It's almost like a grad scheme but on a permanent basis. Costello aren't a company that just focus on profits. Obviously that is important but there is a bit focus on pro bono work and giving back too. It's really enjoyable to work on these projects and know I am using my skills for good. I would definitely recommend working here as it's a great place to keep learning new things and developing your career from the beginning.

Cons

The salaries are slightly lower than other companies but there is a good benefits package around that. Sometimes the hours are a little longer than I would like them to be but that's just the nature of working for clients.
