Vantaggi

The organization has the strongest culture that I have ever been part of. When you begin working at HealthCatalyst the cultural aspects seem to good to be true - but it is not. It took me almost 6 months to realize our company really believes in transparency. The work we do is extremely rewarding and the long hours and travel are offset by mission and caliber of coworkers you work alongside. When you raise a concern with management you feel heard, if they are unable to assist you are told why. Benefits are the best I have had in my 10+ year career and continue to improve.

Svantaggi

Work life balance has been almost non existent the last several months. A lack of planning for large scale implementations and lack of new hiring have led to resources booking 2-3x the recommended hours for weeks to months on end. I have had new hires express to me that the cadence of the work was not what they were led to believe when they were hired on, I have assured them that we are flexing up and that this isn't the norm but it has been harder and harder to convey that message. Relief has been around the corner for some time and lately this has been the case. It feels that management is listening and adjusting based on the above feedback but I don't want to lose sight of the risk these situations put us in with talent retention and job satisfaction. I worry when some of our most tenured resources choose to leave HC, even though our overall turnover rate is below industry standards when individuals who have been here 4-6 years it is hard not to wonder if they see something that I do not. The company operates as two entities - technology and professional services. There are efforts to integrate and cross pollinate info but some of these efforts have fallen flat. Each iteration of the platform offers a multitude of new features but there is a disconnect with the field team who has to recommend those solutions. An internal NPI like rollout would be incredibly helpful where we show off what new features are available and use cases that highlight that feature.

Thank you for sharing these detailed and well-organized and reasoned thoughts. They are resonant with me, and consistent with feedback we receive elsewhere. Let me address a couple of the themes you highlight. First, the need for work-life balance. This is something that requires constant focus, and there absolutely are times where we need team members, as fellow-owners who are committed to the mission, to spike their efforts. But this needs to be followed by compensatory time to recharge. And the overall pace needs to be long-term sustainable, as we are engaged in a mission that will take decades to fully realize. As part of the 2019 planning process we are trying to build in some slack in the form of a bench in professional services. Second, related to your comments about the need for better integration between technology and services, I believe we will take some important steps towards integration in 2019, and we are preparing and iterating on the "how" as part of the 2019 planning process. We will become more focused on "solution bundles" of both technology and services, or tech-enabled services, all aimed at a particular customer problem or pain point. This should help us make progress in integration in 2019. But no matter how we organize, there will always be "seams" that we have to manage, and that's also why we try to keep our objectives largely focused on company-wide goals, to encourage integration and an overall "ownership" mindset. We will keep working on this. Thank you for your contributions to the company for over three years. I deeply appreciate the contributions of team members such as yourself, who have chosen to stay with the company for many years. I strongly desire to enable you to want to stay at Health Catalyst for many years to come, and feel as you do when we lose a long-tenured teammate. We will keep working hard, every day, to strive towards the goal of Health Catalyst as a best place to work for every team member. Thank you again for your feedback. Best, Dan

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I appreciate the thoughtful recognition of our collaborative culture and the meaningful work the team does together. How we work together matters just as much as what we do. Our operating principles and cultural attributes remain foundational. To address your concerns about processes and roles, as the organization evolves, we’re prioritizing clarity in these areas to better support teams. There’s real momentum building right now, and the work ahead is meaningful. I’m grateful for you and the role you play here, and I’m excited about what we’re building together.

Vantaggi

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Svantaggi

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
