Best place I've ever worked - Software Engineering Director Health Catalyst Employee Review

Thank you for this detailed and insightful feedback, informed by your significant tenure and your many contributions as a technology leader at Health Catalyst these past 5-7 years. Your work matters and has directly contributed to our five-fold growth during your time at Health Catalyst. I also appreciate, and agree with your "early warning" feedback. It is a tenuous and tricky balance to keep the mission at the center of everything we do, while also recognizing the truth of the adage "no margin, no mission." I'm convinced we have not always gotten the right balance between mission-focus and financial sustainability focus throughout the years, including over the past year and a half as a public company. However, I will share my continued strong desire to keep the mission at the center of everything we do, and then to figure out how we can ensure that this mission work is also financially sustainable. The annual planning process is an opportunity to work towards this end, and one of the themes I'm most excited about, particularly as our hope increases that we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel regarding COVID vaccine development and distribution, is the opportunity to see increased work in the foundational areas of clinical improvement and clinical analaytics. This is such important mission work, and I believe in 2021 we'll see meaningful growth here. We'll keep an open dialogue in our all team member meetings also regarding this balance between mission and financial sustainability, and strive to make the best judgment calls in striking this balance. You, as a software engineering Director, and a member of our extended leadership team, can directly contribute to these decisions. I appreciate all you have done and will continue to do to enable us to grow and succeed as a company. Best, Dan
