Pros

There are many pros. Working from home has been a very positive in my work/life balance. The work schedule is very flexible and if I need to go to one of my kids sporting events during the day, no one has issues with it. The culture is very much one of get your work done not you have to be at your desk from 9:00-5:00. As a small company there are lots of opportunities to help build processes and standards and get our hands dirty.

Cons

Just as being small can be positive, if one is looking for a company with well defined processes, Catalyst is probably not the place to be. I'd much rather, however, work for a company where I can contribute and build than a large company where my voice isn't heard.

Thank you for your thoughts. I agree we are very dynamic, and that can make some people uncomfortable as they watch the "sausage making process". I agree that, for me at least, the uncertainty that comes with a fast growing business is a positive element. Thanks for all that you do!

Pros

Health Catalyst has truly changed my life. I consistently feel as though I hit the career jackpot. Have you ever had an interview where you ask what the culture is like, or if people enjoy coming to work, and they all reassure you that it's a great place to work; only to find out later that may not have been the whole story. This company still surprises me with the way they value their employees. They really grasp the idea that if you treat your team members well, they want to work hard for you. I have the best work-life balance of any job I have ever had, and have been given many opportunities along the way to prove myself. I can't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

I think we all worry a little about the way we will continue to change during this extremely fast growth. Keeping our growing customer-base happy and still trying to innovate and change the health industry as a whole. I believe we still have some things to learn about divide and conquer as our leadership team, while enthusiastic, seem to be stretching themselves pretty thin these days. They all need about 3 clones of themselves!

Thank you for your insights. We all definitely still have much to learn, and I would say that I hear your insight about our leadership team regarding being stretched. We are learning alongside everyone else as we figure out how we grow and scale effectively. Thanks for your efforts to make our team awesome!
