Inspiring company to work for

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- Fantastic people, great culture - Anyone can make an impact on the company and management listen to employees - either through twice yearly anonymous surveys or if people bring their ideas directly to management - Recent remuneration increase has made salaries much more competitive - Everyone has a 'can do' attitude and people are not afraid of trying new things - Supportive environment and good line management

Cons

- Career progression options can be unclear, especially in more senior roles, but it's obvious from company communications that they encourage people to discuss their options and bring their own ideas for personal and career development to the table

Thank you for highlighting the numerous aspects of life at Costello Medical that you enjoy. We’d be interested to know which policies you find constraining, as this is not feedback we regularly receive. As a client-facing services organisation, we recognise that the nature of our work can be stressful at times, but if this has been your overwhelming experience, please do talk to your manager as there are options that can be explored. We’ve recently increased the overall remuneration of all UK employees, so we hope in light of this you feel that your reward goes further to compensate you for your efforts. Sophie Pearson

Thank you for your review. You’ve identified several areas you think that the company could improve and we would encourage you to discuss these internally to provide more detailed suggestions, so that we can plan initiatives to make improvements in these areas. Great care is given to the commitments we make on project delivery to ensure that the work expectations aren’t too high. If you feel that this has not worked for the projects you are on, we would urge you to discuss with your manager. Please do also use the 360 degree feedback process to provide constructive feedback on individual project managers so that they can learn how to improve on the instructions they give.
