Good Early On

Pros

- Leadership is employee focused - Consistently hire great people. - The mission of the company is motivating - Fantastic work/life balance - Job growth early on

Cons

- Day to day work experience is lacking. - Decisions on product strategy and product direction are continually in a state of flux. It's not worth trying to follow. - DOS. If you know you know. - DOS is often the required development tool even though Health Catalyst has yet to figure out how to develop/support/release products at scale using it. - Lack of access to industry standard data engineering technologies limits professional growth and handcuffs innovation. - At the time I left compensation(salary) was lagging more than the company wanted to admit. RSUs have the potential to close the gap but have an unpredictable value over a four year vesting schedule.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and for the 5 years you spent at Health Catalyst. I hope your current job and company are working out well for you. We are definitely focused on continuous improvement in all aspects of our company, including scaling our execution capabilities, and scaling our technology capabilities. Our #1 R&D priority in 2022 is investing in greater multi-tenant capabilities in DOS, and deeper central data processing capabilities as well. Our #1 operational priority is consistency of project management and delivery, across all of our hundreds of clients. We are not perfect, and sometimes our strengths around delighting customers can become a weakness in not standardizing our work or our projects as much so that they become more and more repeatable and scalable. This is always a balancing act for every company. We're grateful to see evidence of meaningful progress, including multiple solutions rated with industry-leading customer satisfaction, and an increasing percentage of our customer base setting goals and realizing measurable improvement than ever before. 2022 is on pace to be the company's most successful year by far in terms of enabling massive, measurable improvement among our clients. But there is still much more work to do, no question. We, like every company, must continuously improve in order to "earn the right" to keep moving forward as a company, as we've discussed many, many times in our all team member meetings. We'll always strive for excellence, every day, with every client, with every solution, with every department, and we'll never be finished! And, I'm happy to share that we've made major positive strides regarding base salary increases, as has been referenced in a number of more recent reviews, and in a few of my other responses as well. We'll keep focusing on base salary increases in 2023 and beyond. Once again, I wish you the best with your career.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and for your contributions for the past 1-2 years! We'll keep working on strengthening cash compensation and benefits, which makes it more possible to take a longer-term view of equity compensation. I'm sorry also about the challenges that we (and many other publicly traded companies) are facing regarding reduced stock prices, meaningfully impacted by macroeconomic factors like inflation. We'll talk about this at length in today's All Team Member meeting -- what this means, and what we're doing to manage through this current macroeconomic storm. We've weathered past macro economic storms, like those in 2008, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2020 and 2021, and we'll weather this and future storms as well. Thank you again for your contributions! Best, Dan

Pros

Nice people for the most part. Dedicated CEO. Decent benefits. Competitive compensation.

Cons

They’ve become so focused on their woke version of inclusion and diversity that they’ve forgotten the business. Their SVP staff (huge by the way) is certainly diverse but the talent base there is about an inch deep.

Thank you for your feedback, and for contributing to our company's growth and success these past 3-4 years. I'm sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience as a result of the company's diversity, equity and inclusion work. That's certainly not our objective, and we're not perfect. I also empathize with the frustration inherent in a dramatic downward shift in our company's stock price. We'll discuss this issue at length in today's All Team Member meeting -- our assessment of what is happening in the macroeconomic environment, how it is affecting sectors of the economy and sectors of public market companies including Health Catalyst, and what we're doing in response. We'll keep striving to do all that is within our power to execute in a differentiated way, with confidence that in the mid- to long-term, markets and investors will appreciate this strong execution. Best, Dan
