Pros

I have been working at Health Catalyst since nine months now and love it! - Company is growing since I joined with many additional partnerships which is great - C-Suite provides regular updates, communication and continually encourages each and every team member to share new ideas and help grow professionally and personally - Dan Burton (CEO) provides open and transparent communication for the company and encourages to maintain work-life balance which really creates a positive environment within team members to go above and beyond. - People operations team is fantastic and respond to our needs immediately and is always ready to support - I have worked for few other companies big and small and am grateful to work for health catalyst for its open and honest communication, transparency, humility, and its values. My immediate supervisor is great to work with and is always supporting to my needs and encourages for my professional growth.

Cons

None. I will just encourage TM's that since the company is growing and the current environment that the world is in, there may be hidden opportunities that don't exist right now but, to be patient and more great things and opportunities will come in the future!

Pros

They are fantastic at accommodating a flexible schedule, especially during this ongoing pandemic. They help encourage employees’ self-care and emotional health. Management is logical and analytical with their decisions yet remain very compassionate. They help foster a sense of community and encourage us to help better the lives of others. They go out of their way to be as transparent as possible, especially considering we’re a public company now. My teammates are a fantastic group to work with and I am grateful for every day I have with them and this company.

Cons

Wins within our team are often praised verbally, but rarely with a celebration of any kind.

Thank you for your feedback and I really appreciate your work these past four years, as a Senior Software Engineer, helping us grow, mature, scale and succeed. Your work is foundationally connected to our ability to accomplish our mission -- the only way we'll scale our accomplishment of the mission is through great technology. I'm grateful to hear that your experience has been positive, and we'll also work on opportunities to celebrate accomplishments -- I believe we'll have more of these opportunities as we get through the challenges posed by the pandemic. Brighter days are ahead, and I'm grateful to experience these brighter days alongside talented and committed colleagues like yourself. Best, Dan

Pros

The company culture is one of respect and caring. It's not simply something we talk about (i.e., lip service); it is actually reflected in nearly every interaction I have with fellow team members, from our CEO and senior leadership on down. I truly believe if something was really bothering me, I could send an email to any one of our leaders and they would take it seriously and be happy that I shared my concerns. The compensation and benefits are also very generous. Health Catalyst wants to hire folks who strive to be world class in everything they do, and it shows. But the company also places a huge value on humility and doesn't tolerate behavior from individuals who may be talented, but who are not great team players.

Cons

I really have nothing negative to say about this company. I've been in the software development field for a long time and this is, by far, the best place I've ever worked. So rather than listing a "con", I would just provide a bit of an early warning. Since the time I started at Health Catalyst, the number of employees has increased five fold and we became a public company. During this time, I've seen some signs of a very subtle shift in focus from mission and values toward bottom-line profitability. This is natural, and perhaps even somewhat necessary, now that we are a publicly traded company. But I really want to make sure we don't drift away from our core identity. The mission is still to transform healthcare for the better. And yes, we have to be profitable in order to have the opportunity to transform healthcare. But just like the old adages, "do what you love and the money will follow," or "build it and they will come," I want to see our primary focus continue to be serving our customers and fulfilling our mission.

Thank you for this detailed and insightful feedback, informed by your significant tenure and your many contributions as a technology leader at Health Catalyst these past 5-7 years. Your work matters and has directly contributed to our five-fold growth during your time at Health Catalyst. I also appreciate, and agree with your "early warning" feedback. It is a tenuous and tricky balance to keep the mission at the center of everything we do, while also recognizing the truth of the adage "no margin, no mission." I'm convinced we have not always gotten the right balance between mission-focus and financial sustainability focus throughout the years, including over the past year and a half as a public company. However, I will share my continued strong desire to keep the mission at the center of everything we do, and then to figure out how we can ensure that this mission work is also financially sustainable. The annual planning process is an opportunity to work towards this end, and one of the themes I'm most excited about, particularly as our hope increases that we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel regarding COVID vaccine development and distribution, is the opportunity to see increased work in the foundational areas of clinical improvement and clinical analaytics. This is such important mission work, and I believe in 2021 we'll see meaningful growth here. We'll keep an open dialogue in our all team member meetings also regarding this balance between mission and financial sustainability, and strive to make the best judgment calls in striking this balance. You, as a software engineering Director, and a member of our extended leadership team, can directly contribute to these decisions. I appreciate all you have done and will continue to do to enable us to grow and succeed as a company. Best, Dan
