Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad you’ve found value in the relationships you made within our company—our people are truly at the heart of everything we do. That said, I am saddened to hear that you’ve encountered individuals who are not living up to our cultural attributes. Our core operating principles build on our commitment to fostering a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity; no one should feel that they are working in the type of environment that you described. I’m sorry that was the case for you, and I sincerely hope you were comfortable enough to share these concerns with People Operations. In addition, I want to address your concerns about compensation and benefits. At Health Catalyst we are committed to working toward paying above-market rates, targeting the 65th percentile for all core team member positions, which represent nearly 90% of our workforce. While we’ve communicated that we will need a few years to get every core team member to that 65th percentile level, we’ll continue to prioritize this each annual planning cycle. Your feedback is truly important, and I appreciate your sharing. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. -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.
