Pros

Health Catalyst is an innovative company that encourages "out of the box" thinking. The intellectual capital in the organization is striking compared to other organizations where I have served. Our technology platform out performs all our competitors and our mission is strong and sincere.

Cons

Travel is heavy and much of the staff works remotely across the nation. There is little day-to-day interaction compared to more traditional health care environments

Thank you for your feedback, and I agree with your enthusiasm for the innovation at Health Catalyst, and for the qualification of the team members who have chosen to join and stay at Health Catalyst. I also agree that travel is heavy and due to our distributed workforce, as well as our flexible model regarding remote work, we have fewer interactions than perhaps might be ideal. We have some initiatives underway that I believe will help in these areas, including increased use of video conferencing, as well as a reconfiguration of the SLC office to encourage more interaction when team members are in the office. We'll keep working on it! Thanks for choosing to join Health Catalyst and contributing to the mission! Best, Dan

Great company with growing pains

Pros

Great benefits package, generous PTO (unlimited), HSA match contributions are outstanding. Executive leaders are open to feedback and transparent about solutions. Massive growth happening in a few critical departments. Love the transparency of the company's performance and long-term goals. Love that we are going to start posting most of our open positions internally, including high level ones. It was amazing that so many people got the opportunity to be considered for our new COO role.

Cons

We are still learning and growing, but I'm not sure everyone is fully onboard with the changes. There is often a disconnect between Leadership directives and execution in the mid-management level. It's been said many times our managers need more training, which I know is being developed. However, it can be difficult for managers to find time to get the development they need given workloads. It's a difficult balance, growing while developing, but I'm confident HC can figure this one out.

Thank you for sharing this feedback! I appreciate your positive comments and your constructive feedback and advice. We will continue to focus on transparency, including later today in our All Team Member meeting. We are continuing to work on manager development, with a foundational item including the annual 360-degree feedback process, which we're rolling out now, and should be completed by the end of the year. Also, I appreciate and agree with the principle of "balance" when receiving feedback -- it's important not to under- or over-react to feedback from any single source. It reinforces the value of receiving unfiltered feedback from several sources, then looking for patterns and "golden nuggets" of consistent feedback that can lead us to better understanding and then to take action. We will work hard, on a daily basis, to strive for this optimal balance, which is elusive and challenging. Thank you for your 3+ years of contributions to the mission of the company! Best, Dan

Pros

Great benefits, transparent and humble leadership, corporate culture promotes healthy hard work and teamwork

Cons

Promotions, changing departments/teams, and being recognized for working well beyond the scope of your job - are like hitting a moving target or maybe a mirage

Thank you for this feedback -- I appreciate you sharing it. I have read and re-read the feedback, and unfortunately (in a sense), I find it fair and resonant. This is a topic that keeps me up at night -- how we can tap into and provide opportunities for our talented teammates to increase their contributions to the company, which provides tremendous career growth for them, and is incredibly fulfilling and engaging, and provides tremendous value to the company in support of the mission. It's one of the strongest motivations for high growth -- with all the challenges of growth, one of the greatest benefits of growth is the expansion of opportunities for talented team members. I just experienced this challenge firsthand through the COO interview process. In that process we identified, as an interview team, six team members who we felt were qualified to be seriously considered for the COO role. Yet we were only able to offer the position to one team member. How do we enable those other five incredibly capable teammates to contribute in expanded ways? It is through the growth and expansion of the company. But even with significant growth, it still takes time for those opportunities to develop in a way that's sustainable for the company. Standardizing the practice of posting and interviewing for new positions is a really good step in that direction. But we need to do more here as well. One element we've emphasized with managers is that as soon as a team member is eligible to be promoted, and as soon as the company can justify the need for expanded skills, bring the promotion proposal to the leadership team, and we have a standing weekly agenda slot for this topic and we review, celebrate and approve close to 100% of these proposals. We are also rolling out the 360 feedback process for managers, by the end of this year. We've rolled out round one, and round two will be going to the leadership team and extended leadership team within the next two weeks. It has taken longer than we would have liked, but we're working on it, and this will really help us improve the manager effectiveness quotient at Health Catalyst. Thank you for this feedback and for your contributions for the past three-plus years. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve and to provide you with expanded opportunities. I appreciate your contributions. Best, Dan
