Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience at Costello Medical. We are pleased to hear that there were many elements that you enjoyed about your role. We conducted a review of all UK salaries in April 2024 which resulted in an increase to all salary bandings. As a result of this review, we saw a significant improvement in satisfaction with salaries with satisfaction rates increasing by 20% in our 2024 Employee Survey. Furthermore, we have introduced a new profit share scheme which means that all colleagues, including those in entry-level positions, can share in the financial success of the company. Finally, in 2025 we have planned a more holistic review of our benefits package. Thank you again for taking the time to provide a review.

Pros

Challenging and varied workload with autonomy from day one. Every project has a different problem to solve and means I am constantly learning and growing as a creative. Design courses and workshops are always budgeted/supported by the company and this is actively encouraged to continue personal development and innovation. I was hired into the Core team and supported to progress at my pace. My previous experience from other design roles doesn't compare; I feel incredibly valued and have always had my hard work recognised and rewarded. Salary reviews are fair and very forthcoming – you don't have to fight for a yearly pay review and outline all the work you've done over the last year like I have always had to! It's not uncommon to work extra hours during busy periods but this is the nature of an agency environment and something I personally thrive off. The flexible working is great and can be used to achieve a successful work/life balance with good productivity and time management.

Cons

The company pension contributions could be increased but there are other benefits that outweigh this for me at the moment.

Pros

Extremely friendly Rapid progression for high achievers Interesting work helping get innovative new treatments to market Client and project based work ensures variety and change Independently owned, debt free business gives a focus on the long term not chasing short term financial tick boxes

Cons

Intrinsic to nature of the work we do is that deadlines (often set by bodies external to our clients) may be tight and it will be necessary to work longer on occasions; however workload is closely monitored and the work itself is worth doing so I do not find this a problem as less intense times balance it out providing a natural rhythm
