Pros

Very mission-driven company with an inspiring CEO who genuinely wants to improve healthcare for every patient in the world and works hard with investors to protect the best interests of team members.

Cons

Still working on diversity. I'm not on the leadership team, so I don't know exactly how this is going these days, but, historically, decisions have been made by consensus, which I don't think is the best way to make decisions with such a huge leadership team.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and for your 8+ years of contribution and dedication to Health Catalyst. I appreciate your kind words, and also your feedback about how we make decisions at a leadership level. We are working, as we scale and grow, to delegate more and more decision making to the leaders closest to the work at hand, and we'll keep working to make this happen. 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.
