Pros

This has been a great environment to grow and cultivate my career. Having been here a long time, I've had the opportunity to serve in a few different functions, both working directly with clients and working internally on our software and processes, managing people and being an individual contributor. There has always been a willingness to find a role that fits the company's needs in addition to my own. I've been able to dial back the travel (in the years before the pandemic) as my family grows. Working remotely has enabled me to be more flexible with my schedule and allow time to focus on my family's and my own well being in addition to company goals. They say the team member is at the center of everything we do and with a little self-advocacy, I believe this to be very true.

Cons

The flexible PTO policy, while great, still feels awkward when coupled with the billed hours requirements in Professional Services, especially as our goal should be to become as efficient as possible in getting to meaningful improved outcomes with our clients. I also feel that our services teams have become more and more disconnected from our product teams, part of which can be attributed to the growth of the company, but the other part I attribute to organizational structure changes over the last two years that split teams apart that once had services and development working side by side.

Thank you for this insightful feedback, and thank you for your nearly 10 years of contributions to Health Catalyst! You've seen a ton of change and growth and mistakes and challenges and you've stuck with us through all of it. For that I'm sincerely grateful. And you've done it in critical roles, including your current role as an Analytics Engineer. I'm glad to hear you've had flexibility to pursue roles that worked within your personal life's situation and needs as well, that's certainly our hope for every team member. I appreciate your feedback regarding time off in the context of our professional services financial sustainability targets centered around utilization. This is tricky, to be sure, and is something we've discussed at length as a leadership team. I think we're going to start evolving our definitions of success in professional services to align more tightly with your perspectives around focusing on measurable improvement and client success as primary metrics, even more so than we have historically. And I think this will be an important part of our growth and success moving forward. We'll also work to continue to reinforce that team member engagement remains at the center of our strategy and our flywheel. Thank you again for your dedication and contribution this past decade! With respect, Dan

Pros

The leadership is wonderful--they care about every level of employee. I am so appreciative of the great benefits and career growth opportunities that Health Catalyst provides. I'm also grateful to have managers and colleagues that are invested in the company's mission and doing what's best for the client. I like to think that I become a better employee each day by learning from the great people I work with.

Cons

Everything I could think to write here is actively being addressed. I'm grateful that our leadership (especially ASO) is continuously working toward improvement.

I really appreciate this review and feedback, and I'm particularly heartened to hear that you feel that your feedback is being heard and addressed within our services organization. That is a testament to you and to our other leaders in professional services. Thank you for your important leadership work these past four years, as a Senior Analytics Engineer, training, modeling and providing an example to other Analytics Engineers, of how to enable our clients' improvement and success. Best, Dan

Pros

They put team members as their top priority, which was evidenced by leadership proactively encouraging me to take irreplaceable time off with family during a very challenging season even though a project deadline was approaching. They brought in extra help and everyone pitched in. Also, I love the fact that I have access to people within the organization who are world class in what they do whether it’s clinical, financial, operational, data science, etc. Tapping into those resources allows me to learn in weeks what would otherwise take me months or years.

Cons

One challenge I experienced is that we promised too much in an area where our expertise was not strong. This caused stress and missed expectations. I believe we will learn and adjust.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and I'm so glad to hear that when you needed to take time off for a family situation you felt supported by the team. That is absolutely our goal for every team member, and this includes leaders like yourself, occupying such an important role as an Analytics Director. I also love the world-class talent that exists inside of Health Catalyst, and our ability to tap into that talent is a fantastic aspect of working here! We'll keep working on under-promising and over-delivering, and I'm sorry to hear that we didn't quite live up to that in one instance -- an opportunity for us to do better in the future. Thank you again for your four years of contributions and leadership at Health Catalyst. Best, Dan
