Pros

The core values of the company are amazing, unfortunately this doesn't match what it is actually like. I have worked with some fantastic people, many have had similar experiences

Cons

There is a chasm between SMT and the Core team. Core team are set impossible timelines and if they don't meet them, are told it's down to their own bad planning. There is no time allocated for meetings, admin, training or emails, so you have to just work longer to fit this in. There is a culture of 'stealth bullying', passive-aggressive remarks, and shifting the blame downstream.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience at Costello Medical. We're glad to hear that you've worked with fantastic colleagues and appreciate our core values, though we’re sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve described. We have several measures in place to help with managing workloads and balancing projects effectively, including the weekly planners that you describe. However, weekly planning is not an exact science and planners are intended to provide an indication of time required in a given week, not an exact plan. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your line manager or Division Head to discuss how we can best support you in these areas. Additionally, our People Team is always available to offer further assistance and we would encourage you to reach out to discuss your concerns further.
