Pros

Dynamic company founded and grown to fix an important social problem Corporate culture that reflects the core values - transparency, honesty, social responsibility An emphasis on hiring, and keeping, smart, dynamic driven folks A sincere effort to encourage diversity and support work-life balance. Unlimited PTO Frequent Q&A's with Gio in which he emphasizes the importance of meaningful work and make a difference in the world. If you are likeminded, these conversations are very motivating and energizing. It is his goal that working at Castlight be the most satisfying work experience in one's career

Cons

Juggling collaborative work with overseas teams requires schedule flexibility and careful communication. More of a challenge than a 'con' as the folks overseas do great work.

Pros

It's great to work at a company whose mission I really believe in. The leaders of the company really want to change health care. The product really gives consumer crucial information to make better health care and financial decisions. The quality of the product is first rate and I can say that product and engineering are always asking the right questions about how to make the product better for the consumer. Finally, the people are first rate. The quality of work is very high. It hires really smart people who are also good people to work with. We are in early stages of the company, but I believe Castlight could become a very special place.

Cons

People work hard so hours can be long but the goal is to create an environment that people will stay long term so there are a lot of checks to that. As start-ups go it's not the most "fun" place. It's more on the professional side rather than a bunch of 20-somethings so if you're looking for that...
