Truly exceptional place

Pros

1) Castlight is truly leading the market in improving health care for patients. The company is incredibly mission-oriented 2) Castlight continues to be an interesting balance between startup energy (lots of growth coming, lots of new product and business opportunities) with being very stable and well-funded with a solid customer base 3) It has hands down the smartest team I've worked with (and that includes working for Microsoft, McKinsey, Deloitte and other companies) 4) Great improvements in comp: we have just moved to annual performance-based stock packages (with no cliff!) to make sure our high performers get the benefit of a rapidly-increasing strike price

Cons

Castlight is not the place to come if you're really looking for a job at a pure consumer company. We are an enterprise company, which is a different experience. I think the folks who have not been as successful at Castlight or as excited once they came here are the people who really thought they were going to work for a consumer company.

We are seen as leaders in this space. - Everyone is talented, smart, and A-type go-getters - Equity in the company - Passionate about making change - Weekly food - Full benefits - Great team atmosphere - Flex time, as long you complete your work in a timely manner

Cons

- No 401k match - Salary is not as competitive as one would expect for a company in the bay area - lack of standardization creates friction, ineffieciency, and risk among teams - fast pace of change makes it difficult to anticipate the company's direction. - work frequently will take over the work-life balance
