Pros

Meaningful mission, incredible colleagues, collaborative and fun atmosphere, can-do attitudes tackling one of the most important issues in healthcare. I enjoyed working with everyone at Castlight. For example, the engineers are incredible - fantastic talent, the product team is creative, the health plan team is strategic and thoughtful. Castlight is a great place to work.

Cons

Definitely a work hard, play hard environment - which is a good thing. However, people who are new to the workplace may need more guidance from leaders to take breaks and model that it is ok to have some down time!

Pros

People are truly committed to the mission of improving the healthcare system. Company is creating a new category, Enterprise Healthcare Management, that we believe will become a must-have service for HR departments and their employees.

Cons

Company went public early so there are definitely some growing pains. But that's part of the opportunity for working here, since new structures and processes are being set up on a daily basis.
