Overview
Costello Medical analyzes, interprets and communicates clinical and health economic data for pharmaceutical and medical technology companies. Its evidence teams run statistical analyses, literature reviews and real-world evidence studies, while health economists build the cost and value cases that health systems weigh before paying for a treatment. Medical writers and designers turn trial results into journal articles, conference posters and slide sets, and other groups cover health policy, patient engagement, rare diseases and medical devices. Clients commission projects from these teams under one roof, and the firm also does pro bono work for charities. It was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Cambridge, England.

What believers are saying
- Staff get a stake in future success: in July 2026, Costello Medical announced an Employee Ownership Trust now owns it.
- Promotion has no set quota for most roles: line managers put direct reports forward at any point in the year.
- Profits are shared with staff: the Cambridge Analyst posting lists a discretionary profit share bonus paid twice a year.
What critics are saying
- No role is fully remote: staff work from home up to half their time once they pass probation.
- No work-visa sponsorship for Boston and New York Senior Analysts: applicants need US work rights; temporary OPT visas are considered.
- US Senior Analysts share business development: as early members of growing teams, they help identify clients and write proposals.
What makes Costello Medical unique
- No retrospective charging: Costello Medical says it gives clients budgetary certainty at competitive, transparent prices.
- Growth is not sales-driven: the firm says it takes on projects based on team capacity, not sales targets.
- Pay follows set bands: the current Analyst ad for Cambridge starts at 39,000 pounds a year, without individual negotiation.
