Thanks for your feedback. I recognize that economic realities have reduced our ability to offer promotions for every team member, as well as created the situation where we’ve needed to make difficult decisions to balance long-term sustainability. As shared in our April ATM, promotions are still considered as needed, with a bias toward promoting from within. We are also planning a companywide promotion cycle in Spring 2025. I am also pleased that our core team members will be receiving meaningful base salary increases later this year. It sounds like we have improvements to make in our messaging around our promotion framework. We would love to hear your ideas for doing better here. Please set up time with your Leadership Team member, Linda Llewelyn, or me. I hope you’ll find a bright future ahead for you at Health Catalyst as an analytics engineer. Thanks for your nine years of contributions to our success. Best, Dan Burton

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.
