Pros

Great mission statement and impact to end users. Fantastic co-workers who are driven to do right by our customers.

Cons

Post Jiff merger its abundantly clear that Castlight is going through significant growing pains. Exodus of talent and institutional memory is ongoing as the turmoil and constantly shifting product features and timelines are not going to abate anytime soon. Culture is like a start up with shifting expectations, lack of documentation, and a questionable work/life balance. However, no upsides usually associated with start up work as the stock price has been stagnant for 2+ years now.

We’re glad to hear that you enjoy our mission and employees. We integrated two legacy companies in the past year and are just about to release our first joint product to millions of users. Post-merger transitions can feel challenging, but our people, companies, and products are well on their way to being fully combined. We use the OKR model to ensure that everyone is accountable and rewarded when we meet our goals.

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.
