Pros

I've worked here for over 5 years and love the company. We have amazing leaders that do the best they can, even given difficult times. We strive to put team members first, although sometimes, that can impact the sustainability of the company. The benefits are amazing, very competitive HSA contribution (for someone who rarely uses medical insurance, this is like free money), all team members get stock in the company and we have 19 or 20 paid holidays?! My manager supports a flexible work schedule, I never have to worry about going to a soccer game or school program and feel guilty. I have a very supportive manager to allows me to be creative and grow, I learn something new every day!

Cons

Our team is small, we do a lot with a little and we have for years. That can be demotivating at times that we can't expand our team. It can be hard to see significant investments in some areas that don't produce results, but not in areas that consistently overperform. I realize I only see a small piece of the puzzle and I have confidence in our leadership team that they are making the best decisions for everyone.

Thank you for your feedback and for your 5+ years of contributions at Health Catalyst! I appreciate your perspective and the challenging balance between transparency and having a fully baked plan of action or path forward. This is always a judgment call, and particularly over the past six months, we've striven to do out best to find that balance. When in doubt, we do typically err in favor of transparency, which has upside in building trust, but it can cause added concern as we develop and then execute on the plan of action. I appreciate your patience as we do our best in uncertain times to navigate through and find success. Happy New Year! 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.
