Pros

The people who work here are very smart, collaborative, and passionate. It's refreshing to be in an environment where people are happy to be at work. The senior leadership is working hard to be transparent. One of the unique things I find is the Q&A's every other Friday with Gio and another EC member (they rotate). It never ceases to amaze me the questions that are asked and how honestly they are answered. I truly enjoy being a part of a company that has such a commitment to transparency and our other values.

Cons

One of the challenges about working at Castlight is that it's going through growing pains. At times it's difficult to have people accept and execute new processes. It's interesting to be in a company during the time of which it was a start-up and is now becoming more of an established company. I find that some individuals are disgruntled by this change because they are used to the "start-up world" and having few people in the company but, in my experience this is pretty fantastic.

Pros

One of the best companies to work for IF you report to the right manager. Great atmosphere, flexible hours, unlimited vacations, free organic snacks in the kitchen and free weekly lunches.

Cons

There was no opportunity for advancement within my team (but lots of promotions in other teams), cliquishness of certain group of people, micromanaging, no professional support from the manager

Pros

Castlight has friendly, smart co-workers, awesome company values and a fast-paced environment where you are constantly learning and growing. Leadership is open to feedback and meets with employees weekly. You get great benefits, competitive compensation, fun events, learning opportunities (both formal and informal) all in a family-friendly environment. It's a company that lives and breathes it's values: Courage, Transparency, Passion, Excellence and Community!

Cons

Fast growing company that doesn't yet have all the kinks worked out. But if you are up for the challenge of helping create solutions, it's a great opportunity!
