Cons

Can't think of any. A lot of hard work, but all in a team environment focused on a singular goal.

Truly exceptional place

Pros

1) Castlight is truly leading the market in improving health care for patients. The company is incredibly mission-oriented 2) Castlight continues to be an interesting balance between startup energy (lots of growth coming, lots of new product and business opportunities) with being very stable and well-funded with a solid customer base 3) It has hands down the smartest team I've worked with (and that includes working for Microsoft, McKinsey, Deloitte and other companies) 4) Great improvements in comp: we have just moved to annual performance-based stock packages (with no cliff!) to make sure our high performers get the benefit of a rapidly-increasing strike price

Cons

Castlight is not the place to come if you're really looking for a job at a pure consumer company. We are an enterprise company, which is a different experience. I think the folks who have not been as successful at Castlight or as excited once they came here are the people who really thought they were going to work for a consumer company.

Castlight is a great place to work

Pros

Fun, friendly, smart colleagues. No day is ever the same. Flexible working hours with "unlimited" vacation. Organized, monthly volunteer events. Stocked kitchen. Exciting environment.

Cons

No one has an office. We work in an open environment. This could be a pro or a con depending on your preferences. No employer match for 401K. Many new jobs require fulfillment of tasks that no one at Castlight is currently doing. For these positions, there aren't role models; it is good to be flexible and a self-starter.
