Pros

Dan's focus on employee engagement as the driving force behind all other improvements we can make in the world is both invigorating and refreshing. I can't say enough about how crucial this focus is, and how great it to see it brought up time and again. He also seems to live the company qualities of humility and respect, which is surprisingly absent among many in positions of leadership. As for the benefits, I think the insurance is pretty good, though you may have a different experience if you've got a family. I like the free headspace account, and the wellness reimbursement has been a boon this year given how unwell everything has been.

Cons

Next to none of the leaders in my portion of the Application Suite group embody any of the cultural values. I've repeatedly been disrespected or mistreated, and every attempt to engage with leaders on fixing this has either been met with dismissals or non-suggestions around what I could do to talk with the offending party. I also can't tell you the number of times that I've been brushed off with the phrase "assume positive intent", or how often leadership fails to live up to the ideal of "courageously...face the truth".

Thank you for sharing this feedback and perspective. It would be helpful to better understand this feedback, and I wonder if you would be willing to have a confidential 1:1 with me and/or with our Chief People Officer, Linda Llewelyn, so we can receive some more context and then be in a position to work to improve? If you'd be open to this, you can either reach out to us directly or reach out to my assistant, Jenn Howard, who can help us schedule some 1:1 time. Thank you for sharing this feedback, and I hope that we can confidentially visit further to better understand. Best, Dan

Steady decline for past 3.5 years.

Pros

Its been an great place to coast and pursue my hobbies.

Cons

Holidays, benefits, and pay have been slashed and-or frozen. No foreseeable end date or reinstatement. Best talent has left or is in the process of leaving. Technology is a joke. For a company specializing in data warehousing our “etl” tools are irrelevant. Platform is more of a monolith that even internal teams can’t play well with it let alone any true third party.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and perspective. I'm sorry that your experience has been negative these past five years at Health Catalyst. And I'm sorry we've never had the opportunity to visit 1:1. Many of my skip-level 1:1s each year, particularly in the last few years, have been devoted to getting to know team members who have joined us through acquisitions -- of companies or of departments of health systems that have joined Health Catalyst. Over the past couple years this has included over 400 new teammates. But I still try to hold skip-level 1:1s across different functional areas of the company -- two weeks ago I spent the day meeting 1:1 with about a dozen engineers, and I learned a great deal from those interactions. Also, I would invite you now to meet with me, 1:1, by reaching out to my assistant, Jenn Howard, and we can schedule some time in the next few weeks. I'd be happy to visit to better understand your perspective of how we can improve DOS, which is a focus area of our strategic planning, and discuss together the rationale behind our compensation framework decisions. I apologize that we've needed to make some reductions here, but I'm also hopeful to see improvement as we get through the pandemic and continue to grow. Regardless, I hope for your success and happiness in work and in life. Best, Dan
