Pros

Health Catalyst is mission-driven with a positive culture and is filled with smart, hardworking and humble co-workers solving a critical problem with the industry's best solution. There is talent and depth in each functional area of the company.

Cons

One challenge for myself and many others is finding a way to maintain work/life balance through the rapid growth phase the company is experiencing. Also, it will be challenging to maintain the positive culture amid significant expansion in hiring. Further, as the company adds more customers, it will be a challenge to keep success and satisfaction levels where they have historically been. I believe the company will do it, though.

Pros

This company truly cares about each individual employee. Cultural attributes of being humble, hard working, and smart are valued here. The company gives me time to strengthen my skill set and "sharpen the saw." Family and work life balance is extremely great here. Management is filled with highly capable and smart people who continue to lead this company to great success.

Cons

The only challenges I've faced while working here have been with individual employees. I have experienced very prideful people who don't take feedback well and who are not team players. Those individuals were a drag on the department and have since left. You must be a team player who can positively take feedback from others to succeed at any company.

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback. We take this very seriously and are truly interested in what you have to say. With regard to your specific advice around managing employees that do not fit within the Catalyst culture, I could not agree more. If I might state it slightly differently, being nice is not the same thing as being transparent. In fact, if Catalyst managers are not sharing honest, candid feedback with their employees about their performance and behavior in order to "not rock the boat", this in fact is not being nice-- as you pointed out, it does a disservice to all involved. We talk about this quite a bit as a leadership team. How do we make sure our managers don't mistake "being nice" with not candidly managing difficult situations? There is not a universal or easy answer to this question, but we are trying. I want you to know that I personally think a lot about this issue, as I see it as core to our success over the next few years-- we must be able to scale our awesome culture attributes and operating principles as we scale from 300 employees to 3,000 employees (which, by the way, is where I think we are headed over the next 5-7 years). We are actively working on this. I would love additional thoughts, feedback, and critiques on how we are doing. Would love to see other responses on this forum from Catalyst employees. Would also welcome anyone to contact me directly if they would like to discuss. Thanks everyone. Jeff Selander jeff.selander@healthcatalyst.com

Pros

Great location Staff are positive Good ETL tool for small hospitals

Cons

Typical response to problem is blame Group think Little desire to accept others opinions Products don't scale Products are built on other products, so chain of failure is high.

I am sorry that your time with us was less than you expected. We certainly have our growing pains, and it seems like you were perhaps caught up in some of those. Thank you for your feedback, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
