Pros

Castlight is a terrific company. A mission-driven company doing important work to transform how Americans engage in health care. You get to work with smart people in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment. The company is just starting to make a big impact across the US. It's a very exciting time to be here.

Cons

The speed at which things move and, sometimes, pivot, is rapid. Be prepared to always bring your A game to keep up. We also have some growing pains that come with a successful tech company moving to the next level of size and sophistication. For example, we're in tight work quarters and communication within the company can be improved. That said, these items are pretty typical for an emerging growth company and will sort themselves out.

Pros

Mission driven culture with great people to work with, interesting work with lots of autonomy and responsibility. Cares about employees progress. Making a real change in US healthcare.

Cons

The Company is quickly growing, so there can be more work than resources. Also company is young so certain processes and procedures are still required.

Pros

Castlight is on the path to meaningfully improving the healthcare system in the US - helping Americans get better care and a better price. Employees feel the passion of being on this important mission. At Castlight you are surrounded with super smart highly motivated colleagues. At Castlight you have the opportunity to learn a lot, watching a company grow, led by experienced leaders.

Cons

Some people might say "enterprise" isn't as hot as consumer, but I would argue it creates a platform for dependable and stable growth. Some people might shy away from health care as an industry, but the reality is that its an incredible industry, and will be a place of incredible opportunity for the next 20 years as the US system undergoes a substantial transformation.
