Growth Can be Painful, and Rewarding

Pros

Castlight is at the forefront of digital health. Currently, this organization is working to bring two legacy products (Healthcare Navigation & Wellness Integration) together after a merger in 2017. Not only is navigating healthcare hard but so is bringing together the technologies. Hard work can be both a pro and a con. Castlight offers competitive pay, and a great benefits package. The teams are collaborative and dedicated to the mission of the company. Being part of such an important mission is a great feeling, and helping grow this business has been a rewarding experience.

Cons

Moving from startup mode into an operationalized business can sometimes be painful. Startup Clients have a different mentality and expectations than clients looking for established enterprises. Navigating the waters between startup mode and established enterprise can be stressful at times. (But when you have a win, it's worth it) Likewise, employees who come into a startup mode often have different expectations than those who come into an established business. This can lead to some toxicity among those employees which impacts the larger engagement of the team (as seen in some of the more negative reviews).

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. As one team on a mission, Castlight as a whole shares your position that hard work can be very rewarding when it positively affects something as important as healthcare. Making a difference in people’s lives—in a growth-oriented and community-based environment—is incredibly rewarding. We appreciate your suggestion to set clear and attainable expectations across our employee population as well as our book of business.
