Thank you for sharing your experience and for your more than five years of contributions to Health Catalyst. I truly appreciate the time, energy, and care you've put into your role. Your comments clearly show that you value your teammates, the flexibility, and the benefits we’ve worked hard to offer, and I’m very grateful to hear that. At the same time, I recognize your concerns, particularly around annual planning and staffing changes. As has been the case for several years now, our annual planning cycle can include both reductions in some areas and increased investments in others. This is a practice seen at many large, financially sustainable organizations and is not something we take lightly. We remain committed to being transparent about this, including consistently sharing the expectation that some level of position reductions may occur each year, and to providing generous severance and support when that happens. I hear your feedback on communication style and content, especially regarding our all-company meetings. While we aim to be transparent and reinforce our core messages, I acknowledge that we can always improve how we engage, listen, and show appreciation in ways that feel meaningful and sincere. In the past two years, meaningful base salary increases have been prioritized, even amid challenging conditions, and we will continue doing our best to make decisions that support our people and our long-term sustainability. Your feedback helps us reflect and grow—thank you again for sharing it and for being part of the team! -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.
