Pros

Very values-driven; solving a big and important problem; committed, passionate and smart team; a strong platform on which to grow

Cons

Everyone is working hard, need to be very deliberate about finding time outside of work; being a small publicly traded company exposes you to volatility and outside scrutiny

Pros

Castlight is on a mission to change the healthcare system in America. Their health benefits SaaS platform enables employees to understand their benefits and to make better healthcare decisions (at a less expensive price). On the employer side, it provides better utilization of benefit programs and insight into employee's engagement with benefit programs. This mission creates a fast paced, progressive work environment. I've never worked at a company with such a sense of unity and purpose. Everyone is committed, supportive and overall, the company has a strong "family feel" to it.

Cons

This is not a place where you can just go through the motions. You need to believe in changing healthcare for the better and you need to be "all in". If you're looking for a place to punch a clock, Castlight isn't for you.

Pros

We're an innovative company bringing new products to market that help solve problems that haven't been solved before. Great culture, flexible work environment and strong leadership.

Cons

We're on a mission to change healthcare for the better. That's hard and no other company has done it before. It doesn't happen overnight and we're going to make some mistakes along the way.
