Pros

The culture is second-to-none. Everyone had each other's backs and we truly work as "one team". I've worked here a year and have not had one single negative interaction with a coworker. It's a breath of fresh air compared to previous companies I've worked! The work is fast-paced and challenging (in a good way) and the work/life balance is very fair, at least in my department. They want you to take care of yourself and to ensure that you're not burning yourself out. They really focus on diversity and inclusion of everyone and people are very respectful of one another. Management is really engaged in the health and wellbeing of the individual, more than any other company I've ever worked for. I'm a remote employee and I feel they really support their remote workers.

Cons

There are silos and some departments seem compartmentalized in terms of their communications. This could be because we're so spread out across the country and Covid has certainly added to some of that complexity. However, if you're willing to reach out and break down barriers, I feel that everyone is completely open to helping one another in the most positive way, so from that standpoint it's less of a con and more of an opportunity. Getting budgetary approval can be challenging on some things although I'm sure Finance sees that as a pro. Castlight is a fiscally conservative company and so that's not a bad thing; it just can present some challenges in operations and planning.

Pros

Gallop Employee Survey reveals that employees are happy, fulfilled, challenged, engaged, have a mission they believe in, and can find a nice work/home balance. Upper management is committed to employee fulfillment on many levels while dedicated to serving clients and stakeholders.

Cons

I do not have any noteworthy cons.

Pros

Fantastic medical, dental, pharmacy, and vision benefits. All premiums are paid by Castlight. Without the high level of coverage that Castlight provides, I would not be able to afford the medications that I need. The leadership team and HR really care about the employees. Leadership is always thinking of ways to help drive career development for employees. Flexible unlimited time off. Management is very understanding when it comes to schedule accommodations.

Cons

Lots of positions wear many hats that are outside of the job description. This can be a pro for some, but can definitely be stressful at times. There's been a couple of unexpected layoffs followed almost immediately by leadership posting open positions for the same roles that were laid off. This can make job security feel a little rocky.
