Pros

Benefits are awesome! Dan Burton is by far the best CEO I've ever seen! He seems genuine and I believe he wants the best for the team members. I also believe in what the company does. It's quite amazing! The changes they are making in the industry are second to none. I'm proud to say I work for such a neat company.

Cons

It seems if you are in management (some teams) you are allowed to say anything you want to those below you. There is a definite hierarchy there and you know where you stand so check your self worth at the door because in a lower position, you'll know you don't matter. Environment isn't warm. One of the traits they want team members to have is humility. I've heard more team members talk about how humble they are over and over again, but let's be honest....if you have to point out you are humble, you aren't. Also, I don't get much feedback from my manager, but when I do it's negative. Others sing my praises, but my manager never cares enough to see the positive I guess. As a side note, I think most teams at HC work better than this.

Thank you for your thoughtful review of your experience here at Health Catalyst. I agree that Dan is a fantastic CEO, and I am also excited by where I see the industry heading, and that Health Catalyst can be a meaningful contributor to these positive changes. I also thank you for your candid feedback regarding the challenges that you see, and that you personally are experiencing. Let me first say that your experience is not one that we would hope or expect for our team members, at any level of the organization. Regardless of the situation, regardless of relative level in the company, people ALWAYS deserve the right to be treated with respect. We also understand that one of the consequences of our rapid growth has been that we have, as an organization, lagged behind in providing proper and regular guidance and tools to our managers in a scalable way. I am happy to say that we are beginning to change this. We are almost done with a leadership training course that will provide guidance and practical tools around such things as how to conduct a successful 1:1, including cadence and topics to cover; how to provide (positive and negative) feedback to team members in a productive way; and several other topics that should be helpful to the challenges you raise above. This training will roll out to managers beginning in February. Once we have covered the topic with managers, we will provide the same training to all team members, so that all Catalyst team members will be on the same page regarding best practice in this area. There will be several other leadership training courses developed and rolled out this year as well. Let me close by saying thank you once again for your feedback. We will do better here. I would also love to understand more, and would provide absolute confidentiality if you would be willing to reach out to me directly for further discussion. Please consider it, I would be honored by your trust in me if you did. Sincerely, Jeff Selander

Pros

Great place to work. Great perks to the job! The CEO really cares about his Team Members (not employees) Over the holidays he emailed the entire company and asked them not to come to work because the weather was horrible. The company is achieving great thing in the healthcare space.

Cons

Not thrilled with the working environment in the office. The middle management seems to be running around and I find that the team doesn't have great communication. I don't feel that I am being utilized to the best of my abilities and talents.

Thank you for your comments and thoughts, we really appreciate them as a leadership team. I agree that we still have areas of improvement, and our communication across many levels of the organization (not just middle management) is one area of focus for us. I mentioned some of these specific improvements in a response I gave to a review posted on January 26th, and would refer you to that response as well as I think much of it applies to your comments too. Thanks again for taking the time to voice your compliments and concerns!
