Pros

This is an amazing company! I love my work and my coworkers, and the benefits are pretty incredible.They place a great value on employee satisfaction and happiness in their work.

Cons

One of their Operating Principals is that of TRANSPARENCY; that all employees are privy to organizational strategies and information. This is all pretty great - in practice - EXCEPT in the area of position compensation and raises. They communicate openly and frequently about making sure we (employees) are paid “above the median” for our positions - in addition to promising an automatic yearly raise of 5%. In my experience, however, nothing has changed since our company was acquired by Health Catalyst a year and a half ago. Aside from the fact that I was due a yearly increase at the time of the acquisition, my then current position compensation was not reevaluated to the “above median range”, and I have not received an “automatic 5% wage increase”. Additionally, although I have been promoted since I started here, there has not been a discussion of the re-evaluation of my new current job title and compensation to the promised "above median" ranges. I feel like I am going backwards on my pay scale since joining this company.

Thank you for your thoughts, and we agree that tweaking our compensation messaging and the mechanics of the rollout needs some improving. We are working hard on this, and you will see improvements in this area in short order. I personally apologize if there were aspects of this that have affected your life, and if things have not been resolved for you in short order (I think that they should be), please don;t hesitate to reach out to me personally, and I will make sure that we get the issues resolved. Thanks! Jeff Selander

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.
