      Pros

      Castlight is at the forefront of digital health. Currently, this organization is working to bring two legacy products (Healthcare Navigation & Wellness Integration) together after a merger in 2017. Not only is navigating healthcare hard but so is bringing together the technologies. Hard work can be both a pro and a con. Castlight offers competitive pay, and a great benefits package. The teams are collaborative and dedicated to the mission of the company. Being part of such an important mission is a great feeling, and helping grow this business has been a rewarding experience.

      Cons

      Moving from startup mode into an operationalized business can sometimes be painful. Startup Clients have a different mentality and expectations than clients looking for established enterprises. Navigating the waters between startup mode and established enterprise can be stressful at times. (But when you have a win, it's worth it) Likewise, employees who come into a startup mode often have different expectations than those who come into an established business. This can lead to some toxicity among those employees which impacts the larger engagement of the team (as seen in some of the more negative reviews).

      Pros

      Castlight Health is a brand under apree health, not a company anymore. The CEO is not Maeve O'Maera, This page is misleading. Castlight and Vera Whole Health merged to form apree health but are still operating under their brand name.

      Cons

      Executive leadership is toxic and has completely destroyed the company drove out the leadership that actually deserved to be there. Private equity company took over and are just gutting the company to sell and make a dime. THIS is one of many things that are ruining healthcare.
