Best place I've ever worked. Truly.

Pros

I’ve been at other companies that talk a lot about growth within the company and culture and this is actually the first place I've truly experienced that. It is so genuine here. The leadership just wants you to succeed professionally and personally and gives you so many tools and resources to be able to do so. They have a lot of faith in their employees that has really stood out to me. Stock, competitive pay, tools and resources, lots of perks, and fantastic benefits

Cons

Honestly, they've been too lenient on employees that aren't pulling their weight and it's really hard to get fired (some think that's a good thing but there needs to be a better balance). This has started to negatively affect those that do show up but I feel they've taken this feedback seriously and have already started taking corrective actions. (but are still empathetic to giving people a chance and actually care if the reason they aren't performing well is because of personal hardships)

Castlight Response

Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to fostering an environment where we listen to our employees, reflect on our operations, and continue to work on ways to improve. We are happy to hear about your positive experience and look forward to partnering with employees to make Castlight a great place to work!
