Thank you for taking the time to write a review; we are pleased to learn that you enjoyed working on rewarding projects and with your colleagues/managers, amongst other factors. We are however saddened and surprised to read that you felt as though the behaviour of some managers amounted to bullying; we also regret that you did not raise this with us during your employment or during your exit interview. We have had no reports of bullying in the past and would take any allegations of this very seriously; we are particularly proud of the supportive, friendly and collaborative working environment we have at Costello Medical. Please note that career progression is not dependent on the company’s resources or needs. For both internal promotion rounds, held in April and October of every year, there is no set quota for the number of roles available. Therefore, individuals are promoted to more senior roles once they have demonstrated their capability for the role and following a successful interview. This is an approach we remain passionate about and is aligned with our key value of Talent and Opportunity. We have also recently conducted a remuneration review for all senior roles at the company which has seen increases to salaries effective from October 2020, and the continuous review of our rewards package remains one of our highest priorities.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It seems that you valued a number of the benefits of working at Costello Medical. We are aware that colleagues can work additional hours, particularly around project deadlines and during busier periods. We strive to ensure that this isn’t the norm and that on the whole colleagues enjoy a positive work-life balance. We are sorry that you felt the exposure to project strategy was limited at the early stages, however we hope that you gained increased exposure over time. We aim to provide all colleagues with opportunities for fast progression and extensive internal training, and we would encourage all colleagues to seek out opportunities themselves as well, such as by speaking to project managers about the project strategy.

Pros

Fun and dynamic teams, minimal politics, flexible working, interesting projects, rapid progression

Cons

Salaries are much lower for senior roles than in other companies. For the most part this is offset by a positive working environment and a nice company culture, but there are periods of high-stress and pressure where higher remuneration would be appreciated.

We are pleased to read about your positive experience of working at Costello Medical; indeed, flexible working remains a focus for us following COVID-19 and we hope you will enjoy the opportunity for increased flexibility and home-working as part of our upcoming pilot. In October 2020 we were pleased to increase the salaries for all senior roles at the company, in addition to providing generous bonuses. We hope that this has mitigated your concerns therefore around remuneration for senior-level roles. Please rest assured that one of our highest priorities remains the continuous review of our benefits package and we would welcome any further feedback from you here. We would also like to thank you for your commitment this year; we recognise that there have been periods where colleagues have been required to work additional hours, particularly around project deadlines and during busier periods, however we hope that the actions we are taking will support you in both having a good work-life balance and feeling appropriately rewarded. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Please do let us know should you have any further feedback.
