Pros

Great benefits, work remote, positive attitude. CEO is fantastic.

Cons

Even if you are ambitious it seems to be who you know and the timing of those interactions in order to go somewhere in the company. Past work experience seems to mean next to nothing and it's certainly not reviewed much (nor is the history of your previous work communicated) as you move from one client to the next. I was asked to move to a client from where I was at because a resource left (which was a sacrifice on my part, in my opinion), then I did the things the client requested to their satisfaction, was praised by management and....that's it. Just keep chugging along and some day we will remember you, seems to be the attitude. As I talk with other members of professional services, some where waiting to be assigned for a month or more and literally going crazy for that period of time. I also experienced this problem for some time in the last couple of years. Advice: don't let someone sit too long before they move on... usually to another company.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and I'm glad to hear that your experience regarding our benefits, our remote work and the positive attitude of teammates has been meaningful for you. Thank you also for your kind comments directed towards me. Thank you also for highlighting that your experience regarding career progression and recognition for your hard work has been less than ideal. I want you to know that we as a leadership team feel a strong, consistent desire for your experience to be better than what you described in your review. One hope that I have is that a few of the added team member recognition elements which took quite a bit of time to receive board approval and be in a position to implement, which happened at the end of 2019 and early this year, will have positively impacted and potentially addressed your concerns. This included the year-end spot bonus to every team member, in recognition of your central contributions to our success; pay increases for every team member as of January 1, 2020, and the conclusion of our most recent promotion-review process, which resulted in 40% of our team members qualifying for a promotion in total in the year 2019. In addition, the equity grant that leadership team members communicated to each team member who had been with Health Catalyst for at least a year, represented, in many cases, the highest-value grant that team members may have ever received during their tenure at Health Catalyst. We strongly advocated for each of these items precisely to improve the sense of recognition and gratitude that we express to each team member at Health Catalyst. I deeply believe that our company's success is directly tied to the commitment, dedication and great work that each of our team members contributes each day. Your work directly interfacing with clients, ensuring their success, continually working to help our company fulfill its commitments to customers, is central to our company's success. And I personally want to thank you and recognize you for that work. And I sincerely hope that each of the additional recognitions I listed above, which should have flowed to you over the past three weeks, will have tangibly demonstrated our gratitude to you. I agree strongly with your advice as well. Each day, as people managers and leaders, we must be working hard to serve, support, and advocate for the team members for whom we have stewardship responsibility. We will never be finished with this important work. And if we do not fulfill this responsibility at a world-class level, we may well face the consequence of losing these teammates to another company. I will continue to emphasize the centrality of the servant-leadership work of every people manager in our weekly Extended Leadership Team meetings, in which every people manager is invited to participate. We'll also emphasize it in the annual 360-degree feedback process. Thank you for your dedication and commitment these past nearly 4 years with Health Catalyst. Your work has made a significant, meaningful impact, and for that I am sincerely grateful to you. Best, Dan

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I appreciate the thoughtful recognition of our collaborative culture and the meaningful work the team does together. How we work together matters just as much as what we do. Our operating principles and cultural attributes remain foundational. To address your concerns about processes and roles, as the organization evolves, we’re prioritizing clarity in these areas to better support teams. There’s real momentum building right now, and the work ahead is meaningful. I’m grateful for you and the role you play here, and I’m excited about what we’re building together.

Pros

Good vision and products have the potential to make an impact.

Cons

No process and a very autonomous culture. No team collaboration. No one knows what other teams are doing. Trying to expand in India, but it feels like we are two different companies—and there are no opportunities to grow. Titles and compensation do not change at all.
