      Not #1, but chasing it

      Product development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I already know that the "Cons" and "Advice to Management" I present below will be seriously considered, starting with the CEO. Yes, senior leaders really do care. Amazing work-life balance. Yes, the expectation is high to deliver results, but so is the flexibility to achieve those results. Taking paid time off (unmetered, by the way) is not only allowed, but even encouraged and modeled by management. The "Health Catalyst Way" is not just a plaque on the wall. They're serious about the culture of integrity, humility, etc. No, we haven't arrived. People fail to live up to it regularly. But it's not something that gets hidden. Failures get lights shined on them and steps taken to correct them, while still honoring and affirming those who are trying and making progress. That culture means the culprits are often the first to acknowledge their own failures. Finger-pointing stalemates are rare. Flexible and generous financial support for self-improvement includes both skills training and physical health and well-being.

      Cons

      Things seem to change pretty frequently. What got you ahead yesterday won't necessarily get you ahead tomorrow. It's a high-growth, responsive company, so maybe it has to be that way, but if you're looking to hone mastery in a single narrow skill for the rest of your career, this may not be the place for you. HC will support you financially in self-education, but it's probably up to you to figure out what that self-education looks like to further your career. (That can be both pro and con.) There are a lot of pieces in the Health Catalyst solution stack, and it can be hard for newcomers to see what they are and how they interact. Communication attempts are made; people present both high-level solution and low-level technology updates in our frequent all-company meetings, but even the intro slides often presume a certain level of understanding that not everyone has.

      Thanks very much for this detailed review and these thoughtful suggestions. And thank you for joining Health Catalyst this past year! Also, I love the term "whatever-mart" -- I'm going to reuse that for sure! Also, thank you for your kind words, and for sharing several positives that you've experienced thus far. We will strive to live up to those positive comments, and I'm encouraged to hear of your experience. Finally, thank you for the perspective and advice in terms of useful technical training for new team members. I will follow up with Linda Llewelyn (our Chief People Officer) to ensure that she and the members of the education & training team have reviewed your feedback, and I would encourage you to reach out to Linda directly to share additional insights, and to help us get better in this area. Your suggestions resonate with me, and I'd like to see us continuously improve in our on boarding and training processes. Thank you again for coming to Health Catalyst, for contributing to our important product development activities, and for sharing this feedback. Best, Dan

      Good mission, high integrity, treats people well

      Analytics engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Leadership is sincere in pursuing their mission of transforming healthcare. - The team members I interact with on a regular basis are selfless and show integrity.

      Cons

      - It's a growing company and while they get some things right the first time when most companies probably would not, there are some missteps, which is understandable. They are humble enough to adjust but that takes time.

      Thank you for your review and for your kind words. I also agree that we don't get everything right the first time. I appreciate your understanding, and please know our goal to be world-class learners (as we will discuss in tomorrow's All Team Member Meeting -- a proposed update to the Health Catalyst Way), and to adjust quickly. Thanks for your more than three years of service, including in your current critical role of Analytics Engineer! Best, Dan

      Great company, great team, fun challenges

      Software engineering director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management is transparent, they care and they work hard on behalf of each of us Work/Life balance is good (but we work hard) Compensation and benefits are great Good culture and people to work with No place is perfect and Catalyst certainly isn't. The company AND the people try every day though and championing humility as a company attribute that we value is both unique and powerful. I've been here over 4 years and appreciate every day I get to work here.

      Cons

      As a start-up in the challenging healthcare environment, things are always changing and trying to meet the new challenges and opportunities does mean you need to be adaptable Scaling culture is hard and getting the "water to the end of the row" can be challenging and it is uneven at times in how implementation happens.

      Thank you for your feedback and thank you for contributing your software engineering and leadership capabilities to the company for over four years! You've witnessed and lived through an incredible amount of change in that timeframe. I agree with your feedback and appreciate your encouragement to make the difficult decisions and keep the focus on scaling the mission and culture. I will try to do so, every day. Best, Dan
