Love Working Here!

Pros

I absolutely love working with the talented and driven team, lots of variety and opportunity to choose my own path and make autonomous decisions as a manager. Also really enjoy supporting pro bono work - not many companies in our sector offer this. Being an independent has its perks too. What stood out when I was looking at companies was the feeling I got from the employees at Costello that they wanted me to do well.

Cons

The job can be stressful and challenging - there is lots to juggle, especially as you progress. But I think that's consulting!

Hello, thank you for your review and for reflecting on your experiences as part of the Costello Medical team. Hopefully the mission and vision statements which we worked on collectively, and have now been finalised, will help everybody garner a clear sense of where the company is headed and how they can contribute to our goals. Thanks for the reminder not to neglect this aspect, however. With our exciting pace and continual growth it's important that everyone can feel a part of this.

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely friendly coworkers and supportive management Great opportunities for progression Opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects - employees are not limited to projects in their divisions only Funded training opportunities, driven by your interests Lots of wellbeing initiatives, HR and senior management make a huge (and sincere) effort to maximise employee satisfaction with ideas driven by feedback from employees Collaborative environment, you can be working with several project teams simultaneously There is no hierarchal divide, people of varying seniority sit next to each other and socialise together Great socials funded by the company The company makes a generous contribution towards travel costs for employees who wish to work in the Singapore office for a short period

Cons

The hours can be long, especially around external deadlines, but I imagine this is true of most consultancy work Workload and timeline expectations can vary between project managers As a smaller company the pay is probably slightly below that of some larger competitors
