      Pros

      Flexible PTO, excellent health coverage

      Cons

      None. I think that one word is adequate. What follows is padding to meet the silly requirements of a silly form validator. Word 2, word3. word 4. word 5

      Great Place to Work

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Team members are open, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. Senior Management listens to everyone. Best CEO I have ever worked with. Health Catalyst knows how to help team members feel connected when working virtually. The company's Operating Principles of client-centered Outcomes, team member Ownership, common sense Pragmatic Innovation, and client/employee/management information Transparency are the best I've seen. The technical and strategic personnel make up an outstanding place to work and thrive. Meetings used to tend too run over; this is diminishing as we work to maintain a policy of ending meetings at 5 minutes before the nominal times; for example, 2:00pm to 2:55pm instead of 3pm

      Cons

      Work can at times be slowed down in the search of consensus and inclusion of a broad group of team members involved in projects. However, leadership strives to keep people on track. Projects are completed well and on time more often than not.

      Thank you for your review and feedback and for your 3+ years of contributions to the company! Thank you also for your kind and generous words towards me. I am grateful to hear of your positive experiences with the culture, with your teammates, the the virtual experience, and for the connection to the Health Catalyst Way. I agree with your assessment that our consensus-oriented approach can sometimes take longer, but am glad to hear that in your experience we're managing this downside fairly effectively. We'll keep striving to be respectful and transparent in what we share with our teammates and fellow owners moving forward, including in tomorrow's all team member meeting. Best, Dan

      Good culture and leadership, but limited career growth and compensations

      Analytics engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The leadership is very transparent , and the CEO, Dan is someone a great human being that I personally look up to. I've had leaders/managers that actually cared about me and my career growth. The managers I had during my internship were awesome! They are the kinds of people that I want to work for. - I like how the organization encourages submit reviews and feedback regularly. - Onborading experience was awesome and HR folks here at HC are amazing. - Benefits are great, including health insurance, home office and training fees reimbursement. I can see HC wants to invest in its employees.

      Cons

      - The compensations was not bad, but not very good. I'm about 4 months in after I started working in a permanent position (analytics engineer at ASO), but I just got an offer from another company with about 40% increase in base salary... (no counter offer) I suspect it's that I was converted to a full-time employee from an intern so the level I started with is very low at HC. I wish there were the metrics and performance standards that I could easily find and look at so as to understand why my compensation is where it's at. Maybe I could've fought for a better salary? - I can see there are many analytics engineers whose skills are not fully leveraged, which I felt multiple times in my role. This, I think is one of the reasons why my compensation was not the best here, but valued A LOT more elsewhere. I can see other AEs are feeling the same way. - Along with that, BI tools used here like Tableau and Power BI are great, but I feel like there should be more tools for AEs to leverage for their career progression like cloud technologies, dbt, etc. Good thing that HC is moving towards snowflake, but I feel like career growth opportunities are very limited here in terms of tools and data modeling methodology used here. No version control in SAMD is almost a shame in my opinion. - And there is almost zero opportunities to utilize ML or predictive analytics (data science type stuff) as AEs. I don't hear many roles open for data science team either. So those who really want to skill up in that realm should be better off working elsewhere. - Although, the leadership at HC is great, I saw some skill gaps in managers. I've had both types of managers; the one who seemed to know what it takes to be a good manager and actually cares about my career progression and work life. But this other type of manager seemed to be more technical than a manager. I didn't really enjoy the conversation with this manager because simply I didn't find it meaningful or pleasant... It almost seemed like the manager lacked the people skill that managers should possess.

      Thank you for this review and feedback. And thank you for your kind words, we're grateful to hear of the positives you've experienced. I also appreciate the constructive feedback you've shared, and would encourage you to always feel like you can reach out to Linda Llewelyn, our Chief People Officer, or other People Operations individuals, for a confidential discussion. This can be about your salary as you consider competitive opportunities, and we would very much like the opportunity to have those discussions, and acknowledge that despite our best efforts, we are imperfect and don't always get the scoping of positions exactly right. LIkewise, we want to understand if there are some training needs with any of our servant-leaders, so please reach out to people operations if you don't feel comfortable visiting directly with your manager. I would also be happy to visit with you 1:1 if you feel that would be helpful. Thank you also for your specific suggestions about how to make the AE and AD positions as positive as possible--great ideas! Best, Dan
