Horrible leadership in recruiting - Corporate Recruiter Castlight Employee Review

Pros

Lots of great people work here. Many have been here for years and are passionate about the company product.

Cons

The leadership in their recruiting team was the absolute worst. She did not allow for work life balance, demanding that recruiters answer emails within 2 hours even on the weekends. Not supportive. Very tyrant-like management style. Leadership throughout the company took a lot of time off, as there is unlimited vacation, which made it hard to close out positions. But recruiters were never allowed to take off. Threatened to be replace even if asked off weeks in advance.

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.
