REAL Sales Professionals beware. Don't believe the hype.

Pros

Mission is fulfilling, CEO is bright and energetic. Team atmosphere in pockets. Freedom to exercise your creativity. It's fun to attempt to help people.

Cons

This is not a Product/Solution that Companies really need. Way too many competing priorities and Projects. Sales leadership seems to have a Junior, transactional mentality. If you're expecting to make a lot above your base Salary, beware.

Sales professionals be warned!!

Pros

Some very talented people and a noble cause in trying to fix what is a broken healthcare system.

Cons

I was lured to Castlight with the promise of a bright future with a fast growing company. How wrong I was! New sales leadership is very unprofessional and biased to RSM's that they've brought over from their previous employer, very long sales cycles, you'll be relying on your salary for a long time and that's if management gives you enough time to build a pipeline. CEO and CRO seem completely disconnected from what is really going on with massive turnover in the sales organization. Team members fired out of the blue with no warning whatsoever! A very politically charged environment for such a small company!

Pros

High base salary, benefits. Lots of good, experienced individuals who you get to interact with on a daily basis.

Cons

Sales leadership, process, go to market strategy. This has been the worst sales experience I've ever had. For those who are entertaining a Growth Market position, stay away!
