Health Catalyst reviews

The cons that I see are related to Professional Services (ASO) and seem to be related to recent growing pains. I am actively looking for other jobs due to below-market compensation and lack of opportunity in a red-hot market. Since joining the company I have had my total compensation decrease despite receiving promotions. While there are active conversations to improve pay, there does not seem to be any real sense of urgency leaving me feeling discouraged and frustrated. There is a lack of opportunity to meaningfully develop within the company. Promotions are infrequent and seem to be given on tenure rather than ability to contribute. New hires are frequently brought in at more senior levels despite modest backgrounds. There is a disconnect between hiring and promoting criteria. Further, it feels like there is a lack of opportunity to showcase competencies and talents discussed in the hiring process. This has been a difficult culture to connect with for me and I frequently feel very distant and out of touch with my colleagues (if I work with anyone). I am sure remote work and the pandemic play a significant role here, but there is more to it than that. There has historically been a monoculture in the company. For all of the benefits of that culture, it can be hard to fit in if you come from a different background.

- The compensations was not bad, but not very good. I'm about 4 months in after I started working in a permanent position (analytics engineer at ASO), but I just got an offer from another company with about 40% increase in base salary... (no counter offer) I suspect it's that I was converted to a full-time employee from an intern so the level I started with is very low at HC. I wish there were the metrics and performance standards that I could easily find and look at so as to understand why my compensation is where it's at. Maybe I could've fought for a better salary? - I can see there are many analytics engineers whose skills are not fully leveraged, which I felt multiple times in my role. This, I think is one of the reasons why my compensation was not the best here, but valued A LOT more elsewhere. I can see other AEs are feeling the same way. - Along with that, BI tools used here like Tableau and Power BI are great, but I feel like there should be more tools for AEs to leverage for their career progression like cloud technologies, dbt, etc. Good thing that HC is moving towards snowflake, but I feel like career growth opportunities are very limited here in terms of tools and data modeling methodology used here. No version control in SAMD is almost a shame in my opinion. - And there is almost zero opportunities to utilize ML or predictive analytics (data science type stuff) as AEs. I don't hear many roles open for data science team either. So those who really want to skill up in that realm should be better off working elsewhere. - Although, the leadership at HC is great, I saw some skill gaps in managers. I've had both types of managers; the one who seemed to know what it takes to be a good manager and actually cares about my career progression and work life. But this other type of manager seemed to be more technical than a manager. I didn't really enjoy the conversation with this manager because simply I didn't find it meaningful or pleasant... It almost seemed like the manager lacked the people skill that managers should possess.
