Pros

Health Catalyst is one of those rare companies that is primarily motivated by making a positive difference in people's lives. Employees find a real sense of purpose here, rather than being lost in a big corporate machine, unsure of the impacts you are making as an individual. The icing on the cake is how well Health Catalyst treats their employees. They selectively hire humble people who are both smart and hardworking. After you join the Health Catalyst team the benefits are second to none, I can't think of another place I'd rather work. The extreme level of employee engagement is real.

Cons

Health Catalyst has a bit of a decentralized employee base, with Salt Lake City being the headquarters. If you happen to be one of the many remote workers, having the feeling of being connected to the larger employee base can be a challenge, but that is not specific to Health Catalyst. Even so - they are mindful of this, and try to create opportunities for remote staff to feel connected.

Thanks for your thoughts and compliments, we know its hard work to keep this culture going, and it requires concentrated effort from every team member for it to be both sustainable and productive. We are not perfect here-- far from it (as anyone who works here knows :), but the magic comes from the fact that most of the people are working for and motivated by our common goals most of the time (we all have bad days occasionally, and we all make mistakes). Thanks to you and everyone else that recognizes that this is a group effort!

Yup, maintaining tight relationships across corporate sites becomes harder the bigger we get, but the effort is worth it, and we will continue to try and make it better!

Pros

Amazing work life balance, good feedback from managers, great benefits. I feel valued as an employee and am doing a valuable job. Room for growth in startup

Cons

Many small isolated teams and low cohesion between them. The company is still a startup and is going through many growing pains. Many talented and driven people work at Health Catalyst but projects are slow due to lack of experience in new areas

Thanks for the review! Agree that we are going through these challenges as a company. In fact, I was in one of our small-group lunches just this week with several team members, and your point about isolation and low cohesion was raised and discussed. Here are just a few thoughts that came from that discussion regarding things we are working on to combat/mitigate this. One is a notion that we "cross-invite" certain members of one team to join the regular team meetings of another related, but separate team, for a period of time, allowing greater interaction. This is an idea we are early in exploring (as of yesterday! :) The second discussion was around the Open Space initiative that is going on here at Health Catalyst right now. If you have not had a chance to attend, or have not yet been invited, talk to someone on the platform team, where this initiative started, and they can get you into it. Anyone at Health Catalyst is invited, all are encouraged to attend. As a Senior Software Engineer, you may already be all over this, but thought this was a good forum to plug Open Space, as I think it is awesome! In fact, I am five minutes late for opening circle! Heading there now! Thanks again for the review!
