Pros

The culture is Castlight is what sets the company apart. When you walk in the office you can feel the positive energy. They host many fun, creative events & even provide lunch once a week. Good benefits & work-life balance. The CEO & Senior Leadership are very well-respected & have an open-door policy. In regards to the work at Castlight, you will have the chance to solve the most complex problems in Silicon Valley. Many of the employees are some of the brightest minds in the country.

Cons

With hyper-growth comes growing pains. Some of the people at Castlight who have "been here forever" don't play nice with others, & this is seemingly a known issue. Castlight says it is a "Performance Culture" but does not always appear to live by this mantra. Some older, tenured employees consistently under-perform but stay around because they have so much tribal knowledge. On the flip side some of the younger, newer employees who are top-performers have difficulty advancing in the company.

Amazing people, great mission, and exciting, fast growth environment. I love the work that we are doing and the talent, ambition, and kindness of the people at Castlight. It's a special place and I feel lucky to work here.

Cons

Lots of work including on the weekends and evenings. I would like to see more effort on maintaing the amazing culture at Castlight, understanding that with growth comes some change. We can also do more to ensure that all employees understand their professional growth opportunities.
