Pros
I signed with Castlight without knowing much about the company or product (I do not have an HR or health care background). WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! The more I learn about the company the more excited I am that I jumped in. 1) THE PEOPLE at Castlight are incredibly sharp and dynamic team players. Everyone is hard working and focused -- great, unselfish, wicked smart culture. 2) THE PRODUCT is amazing. Truly a disruptive product, making it a challenging sale and an uphill journey at some points, but Castlight's product team is the most visionary and innovative in the enterprise health care space, hands down. 3) THE VISION of Castlight-- to change healthcare, to fix a profoundly broken system, to allow people to become educated consumers and save them from financial peril associated with injury and illness, to allow benefits managers to take the best possible care of their employees -- is a noble cause, to say the least.
Cons
I am so excited about my job that I spend all my time reading and working. This will likely have a negative effect on my social life. Castlight encourages a work/life balance, mine is a self inflicted imbalance.
