Thank you for this review and feedback, including your positive comments about the gifts and capabilities of our team members and your sense that we care about every team member. That is absolutely how I feel. I also appreciate the feedback regarding our need to help every team member be prepared for life in a public company context. We'll spend dedicated time, repeatedly, in our all-team member meetings and in other settings, trying to help team members be well-versed and well-prepared for this experience, including an emphasis on all the ways in which life will feel the same -- hopefully inclusive of the mission-orientation of the company, and the focus on team member engagement as leadership's #1 priority. I also appreciate the feedback regarding the need for a focus on "all for one, one for all" which has been so central to the company's success thus far. This has been on my mind significantly in the past several weeks, and we'll discuss it in today's all-team-member meeting. I agree with the need to reemphasize that we succeed or fail together, as a team, which is why we all participate on the same bonus plan. More to come on this, but I appreciate the callout and I agree that we need some additional focus here. Finally, thank you for your many contributions across nearly 4 years at Health Catalyst. I sincerely appreciate your commitment to the company and its mission. Best, Dan

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.
