Pros

Great compensation and reimbursement for home office, internet, and phone

Cons

Internal tech and programs felt limiting although a shift began to incorporate more universal ones. However, training for those was not formally put together Several rounds of layoffs in my less than two years there.

I appreciate you sharing your experience and sincerely thank you for your time and contributions as a valued team member at Health Catalyst. As has also been the case for a number of annual planning cycles over each of the past several years, there have been some team member reductions in certain areas, just as it is likely that there will be areas of increased investment as part of every annual planning cycle. This is a practice that occurs at most large, financially sustainable companies as part of their annual planning processes and should not come as a surprise to team members as it occurs. Importantly, even though this is uncomfortable, we remain committed to communicating the expectation, which we have shared more than a dozen times over the past several years, that we expect that there will be some level of reductions, including team member position reductions, as part of every annual planning cycle. With this, we also strive to be in a position to provide generous severance and rally to support affected team members. We are also grateful to have provided meaningful base salary increases in late 2024, which followed another meaningful companywide base salary increase in mid-2023 for our team members. These were top priorities in our annual planning cycles, even in challenging times. While we remain committed to upholding our value of transparency when communicating our annual planning process and related decisions, I’m confident we are far from perfect, and we can make improvements here. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. – Dan Burton

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the strengths the company had before this year and the dedication of team members during challenging times. As we shape our 2026 strategy, we’re carefully evaluating how we allocate resources to ensure organizational success, identifying where to invest and how to utilize those resources most effectively, all guided by a clear and focused plan. Your feedback is helpful, and we will continue to communicate updates as progress is made. -Ben Albert

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.
