Pros
The company had a decent work from home policy prior to COVID, and as such transitioned pretty well when it came to having everyone work fully remotely. Management is respectable and understanding for the most part (in my experience). It is much easier to work for someone you respect. Having been part of some hiring decisions, I know that they tend to focus a bit less on technical skill and more on personality, willingness to learn, and work ethic (at least what can be surmised in interviews. Most tend to learn specific frameworks/languages on demand in this industry anyways). The culture reflects this and I genuinely respect the vast majority of my coworkers.
Cons
Working fully remotely now means I don't get to spend as much time with coworkers. That can be good for some, but for me it makes it a bit harder to stay motivated. No longer being in office means no more free snacks/Lacroix, as per the meme.
Pros
- culture, perks, people, mission, dynamic
Cons
- not a clear direction in a competitive market, constant changes , leadership changes
Pros
Many talented coworkers that works hard and help each other
Cons
Ridiculously heavy on top and middle tier management

Pros
I joined Castlight in the last year. I have been most impressed by the culture and values, which seems to be influenced from the top down and the bottom up. Great leadership starting with the CEO ... few egos, engaging, culture focused, results focused, and growth focused.
Cons
While I was concerned initially about pay cuts and some job cuts after Covid, I think it was the responsible thing to do
Pros
good place to learn and start
Cons
nothing much as of now
Pros
Good work life balance and colleagues.
Cons
Constantly changing long term vision.

Pros
Great company culture, reasonable work life balance, and I think we're finally on track to deliver most of the features that most of our customers want. We've also improved some of the internal processes around building and delivering our product.
Cons
Some imperfections remain, but minor I think

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Castlight full-time for more than a year
Pros
Had some really close friends at this place, the people were my favorite part of the company. I think this is a great place to get some experience as an engineer. You'd probably only want to stay here if you want a nice, cozy job. If you want stock grants that might grow, maybe go elsewhere.
Cons
The company just seems to be treading water. It probably won't go bust, but I can't see it really growing either.
