A company that is working really hard to make products that help its customers; very focused product team; generally talented team across the board; has made a lot of strives in work-life balance over past 18 months

Struggling with some of the standard 'post-exit' challenges, in terms of promotion opportunities for long-term employees and folks with a more start-up bent.

Treat you like a grown up, and get to be the dumbest guy in the room!

Pros

Though only a few months into my time at Castlight, I have been greatly impressed by the overall cultural maturity of the organization. They treat you like a real, live grown-up, trusting that employees will do the right thing and are committed to getting the job done right. Additionally, the depth of really smart people solving a nation-wide problem is inspiring, and I'm getting used to being the dumbest guy in the room which is awesome for learning the healthcare transparency movement. Management does a great job of keeping staff up to date on company issues and developments, with the CEO giving a weekly all-hands meeting.

Cons

Still trying to find what that would be...maybe too much positive feedback and team support...it's unsettling when you are used to being abused at other companies.
