Pros

Flexibility, great team members, commitment to fair salary

Cons

More layoff periods than I'm comfortable with. I understand layoffs are sometimes necessary; however, it starts to feel unsafe when they are frequent. They have been transparent with all their decisions so I appreciate that.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I truly appreciate your recognition of our flexibility, team culture, and commitment to fair compensation. It’s important to us that we continue to foster an environment where team members feel valued and supported. I also understand your concerns about the frequency of layoffs. As has been the case for a number of annual planning cycles over the past several years, there have been some team member reductions in certain areas, just as there have been areas of increased investment. This is a practice that occurs at most large, financially sustainable companies as part of their annual planning processes and is something we have consistently communicated as an expectation. And, in 2022 and 2023, we experienced sufficient slowing in our growth relative to our forecasts that we required a mid-year cost reduction, in addition to the annual planning cycle, which involved some team member reductions. I’m grateful that we did not require this additional mid-year reduction in 2024, and we don’t anticipate a mid-year required reduction in 2025 either. That said, I recognize that even with transparency, these changes can feel unsettling. While these decisions are never easy, we remain committed to communicating openly, providing support—including generous severance—and ensuring that our long-term approach strengthens both the organization and the individuals who contribute to it. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue striving for improvement, and I appreciate your candid perspective. I hope you’ll find continued success and growth with us at Health Catalyst. 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.
