Fantastic place to work

Pros

Great people and product. Company lives by its motto of only hiring people who are smart, hardworking, and humble. First place I've worked where employees are genuinely proud of the products and services they provide. By far the best benefits out of anywhere I've worked, Unlimited PTO, 401k match, HSA matching, stock options, on-site gym, paid paternity/maternity leave, work from home, free snacks, cellphone & home internet reimbursement. Definite sense that management wants to make Health Catalyst a great place to work. Amazing work/life balance. Everyone I interact with seems genuinely happy. Company encourages people to utilize the unlimited PTO policy as needed in order to avoid burnout. Overwhelming sense that family and personal life should come before work.

Cons

All employees are required to manually track their hours regardless of their role within the company. This applies to both hourly and salaried employees. Depending on your duties, this can be a confusing and often frustrating process since many daily tasks are difficult to categorize. Management seems to be aware of this however and is making an effort to improve.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! We appreciate the feedback, and the thoughtful comments. We are working on hours tracking, and have made some recent improvements, which hopefully you will be seeing soon, or have already begun to roll out. Thanks again!

Fantastic place to work

Pros

The benefits are amazing as is the flexibility (e.g. work-life balance, telecommuting where needed/appropriate, etc.). It is frequently communicated and demonstrated in compensation/benefits/policies/decision-making that this company really values its employees. There are so many talented and incredibly smart people that work here. The real distinction though is the commitment to the company's value of humility. It's not just for show, either. I work on a fantastic team where the three values of smart, hard-working, and humility are easy to identify. It's really refreshing. The company is also highly mission-driven. It's really all about improving outcomes for patients and healthcare organizations. I have demanding and challenging work and I feel like there is plenty of room/opportunity for me to grow my skill set and technical background. I honestly don't think I could find a better place to work than this.

Cons

I'm struggling to come up with something here. I guess we don't have quite as much face-to-face time our entire team since there are so many that telecommute (in different states). We do have daily stand-up meetings via Skype and everyone gets plenty of on-site client time. Hard to find anything that could be considered a downside to working here.

Thank you for your thoughts. I want you to know that we as a leadership team also think about and consider how we can avoid dilution to our culture, while remaining open to constructive change that will strengthen our culture. We will continue to put our best thinking into this issue, as we agree that it is core to our long term success. Thanks!

Pros

I have been reflective lately about the amazing place that Health Catalyst is to work. There are many things that come to mind but lately, I am appreciating the chance to be part of a big vision. Some people go to work to build things or sell services but few are able to say they are transforming an entire industry. Now we aren't there yet, but that is the vision and the potential and we are engaged daily in figuring out how to FIX healthcare, to make it more affordable and effective and that is motivating

Cons

The only thing that comes to mind as a challenge to the vision is whether our runway will change. Will competitors intervene, will customers not invest in us, or will the current political climate turn into a chaotic four years of change? Those are risks but without being able to control each of them, we are doing what I think are the right things to succeed.

I agree that it is fantastic to be a part of an organization that has a chance to make a real difference in transforming healthcare for the better. I also agree with your assessment that many of the factors important to our future success are still fluid and unknown. This is risk associated with a company at our stage. I think we are doing our best to focus our efforts to mitigate our risk around these items, and know that we can be successful as we work together. Thanks for your thoughts!
