      Pros

      -The work I do is challenging but being able to see actual change at a healthcare organization is incredibly satisfying -The people I work with work cooperatively and the company encourages collaboration -There are projects that are specifically geared to improving the organization beyond just the day to day work that is role specific, its important that we take the same approach that we expound at client sites -The organization has company values that are much more than just buzz words on a splash page on a website, they are woven throughout the operation and within the leadership -The leadership team is proactive and treats the team members as assets and not just cogs -I often find myself discussing my work with friends and former colleagues and its not until I see them react to small anecdotes about Health Catalyst that I realize how HC treats its employees isn't the status quo at other organizations. People take pride in working here and it shows in the day to day.

      Cons

      -Working remote presents challenges as sometimes it feels decisions are made within a bubble and sporadically disseminated to the teams -Not being centrally located in Salt Lake City was a challenge at first, however the company has already made large strides in being more inclusive -Our approach to sales, product development and marketing seems like we are limiting ourselves to a very specific slice of the market, many smaller, non system healthcare organizations can't afford our solution which is a shame because its many of these orgs that would benefit most from the process changes we deploy -Long engagement times at client sites can become an issue for dedicated client resources

      Thank you for your thoughtful pros/cons and advice. It is heartening to hear so many that care so much about our company! We aren't perfect (and one need look no further than these reviews to understand this :), but I am continually amazed at the depth of the reviews offered, including yours. We will continue to work together to make things even better here! Thanks for all you do.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
