Pros

Everyone is friendly, smart, and hard working. Sometimes people can be transparent to what in other companies might normally be considered a fault. I haven't met anyone yet who I've questioned "Why was this person hired?". Smart, hard work is appreciated over "doing the hours", and providing something concrete and useful is appreciated over providing your weekly TPS reports. Speaking of which, if something is useless, it gets cut very quickly. I've never seen an organization that self evaluates and trims things as effectively as my current team.

Cons

Just like being in a family, sometimes mom and dad can't agree on what the family should be doing. This isn't usually a huge problem, but it frequently means the 'kids' are overridden when it comes to prioritizing 'fixing annoying bugs' over 'Providing more, new content'

Thanks for sharing this feedback, and your 'family' analogy resonates. I agree also with your assessment that foundational stability, in our data platform and in our apps, is table stakes before we'll be in a position to offer up more to our clients. I was visiting with Dale (our Technology President) yesterday, and he shared that the stability scalability of our data platform is on his short-list of organization priorities for the next year, and I completely agree. Thanks also for your continued contributions from Columbus! We have been so fortunate to continue to benefit from our talented colleagues who joined us through the HCD acquisition.

Pros

People - I'm amazed at the quality of coworkers I have. My team has a wide variety of perspectives and backgrounds but we enjoy working and playing together. Manager - I've had two managers in my life that I really admire and enjoyed working with. I'm currently working with the second of those two individuals. Makes it great to come to work to know my manager is smart, hardworking, trusts me and encourages a good work/life balance. Company - develops products and services that make a DIFFERENCE. I enjoy talking to anyone who will listen about how HealthCatalyst helps to save lives and improve healthcare. Culture - Management leads by example, encourages constant improvement in our workflact and promotes focus on client outcomes. I get the feeling that upper- and mid-management really care about the employees here.

Cons

Disjointed? - The size and variety of teams can lead to siloing and a feeling that we don't know what the "big picture" is. I came from a really great (but small) company and it is harder here to reach out and get to know and understand what other people are doing. Rushed - Sometimes it seems like a product being developed is delivered without "ease of use" enhancements or having all the features that would really make it shine. This was my experience with my last employer, so it may be a common symptom in software development.

Thank you for sharing your experience here on Glassdoor. I'm encouraged by the positives that you shared, and I appreciated your feedback on areas where we can improve. Regarding cross-functional visibility to the big-picture and to other areas of the company, we'll try to provide more of these kinds of venues. One great venue is our Healthcare Analytics Summit, where there's a product demo available for every product line, and we record many of the sessions, both keynote and breakout sessions, for team members to access afterwards, if you're not able to attend HAS. Also, we're going to try to get better at sharing, in every ATM meeting, a product demo as well as an outcomes improvement vignette, to help every team member have visibility to these things. Regarding "ease of use" of our products, this is also a real area of focus for us moving forward. I was visiting yesterday with Andrew Frueh (our Director of User Experience in the Tech organization) and was really excited to hear that they have proactively organized usability testing for essentially every product line to occur in conjunction with our Healthcare Analytics Summit in two weeks. This will be really helpful, and hopefully something that we make a permanent part of that annual event. Andrew and his team are really gifted and I'm excited to see their influence positively impact the usability of our software. Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to Health Catalyst. I'm grateful to have you as a colleague!

Pros

Excellent benefits for and integration efforts aimed at remote employees. It's a mission-driven company that cares about its clients and its employees. Leadership is very transparent. Salary and benefits are very competitive. I don't think I could find a better company to work for.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there is some misalignment or friction between the Analytics Services group and the Product Development group.

Thank you for sharing this review and feedback. And thank you for your contributions to our client relationships in the Tacoma area--those are critical relationships, and the work you do there makes a real difference in helping them improve their outcomes. I'm glad to hear that your experience as a remote team member has been positive. This will be a permanent focus for us as a leadership team -- how we ensure that remote team members are looked after and that their experience is optimized. I don't disagree with your feedback about needing greater alignment between services and product development. This is also an area of focus for us moving into 2019, and we'll be pursuing some initiatives designed to improve in this area. Also, thank you for your thoughts regarding simplifying our analytic accelerators. They resonate with me, and I would encourage you to share this feedback with your colleagues in ASO, particularly those charged with maintaining the library of accelerators. I appreciate your daily contributions to the company's mission!
