      Pros

      Of all the jobs I've ever had, Health Catalyst is by far the best place to work. We as team members (employees) are truly what drive the executive leadership team to be great. Dan (CEO) embodies the cultural values of the company and as a team member I trust our leadership to make the best decisions for our company as well as each of us as individuals. Dan has lobbied in our favor with the board so many times, I can't count - from bonuses to stock options. We have amazing benefits that go above and beyond what I consider to be expected from an employers, and we're compensated very fairly. We work hard and are rewarded for it. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

      Cons

      While I'll list cons, these themes are by no means isolated to Health Catalyst. 1) The cultural values, respect for team members, and humbleness is not systemic throughout the organization as leadership assumes. Some mid-level managers exhibit selfish, boastful, disrespectful behavior when left unsupervised. 2) Technically-skilled team members are promoted into HR-manager roles when they have no real skills to be leading a team. 3) People are allowed to change roles frequently, often moving from a higher pay grade into a lower pay grade, and instead of putting the individual in the level that aligns with their skillset, they are put into a level that corresponds to their salary. As a result, there are individuals with low skills in high-level roles. This doesn't feel right to the staff in the same role with higher skills but at a lower level - and thus lower pay - who haven't been changing roles.

      Thank you for your feedback, for your support and for your advice. I appreciate. Your feedback, coupled with other similar feedback, has led to changes in the way we respond to questions in the Q&A sessions, to move more efficiently and to group questions together as well. I hope it feels like an improvement -- it does to me, and I appreciated the suggestion. I also appreciate the feedback regarding career changes and related compensation changes, from an equity and fairness perspective. And I appreciate the feedback that we have some work to do to emphasize the importance of adherence in every position, at every level, to the Health Catalyst operating principles and cultural attributes. We'll keep emphasizing this! Thank you for your 5-7 years of contributions to our company's growth and success. I sincerely appreciate it! 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.
