Business Outlook

Pros

These are just my observations and experiences. I do not know if all employees have had the same experience. - The CEO is top notch. - The mission of the company is worthwhile, and the healthcare industry is rewarding - Pay and Benefits are great - The team members I have had are great people - Sales are going well, and I believe we will continue to grow as a company - Some travel was required pre-COVID, but was not excessive - It is easy to maintain a good work life balance

Cons

These are just my observations and experiences. I do not know if all employees have had the same experience. - I have never had a performance review during my time at Health Catalyst. - I have not been promoted during my time at Health Catalyst. - I have applied for other positions within Health Catalyst, and have not been selected for any. I have never received feedback post-interview. - My job title is not indicative of the work I do. I have had very few opportunities to do analytics. My job title is very misleading. I am more of a BI Developer I would say. I wish I was actually doing analytics. - I have never worked on the same subject area more than once. If I work on a Diabetes project for example, I do not expect to be part of another Diabetes project at another client. - The direction of my sub organization (Analytic Services) is really unclear to me. It feels like it is also unclear to the Analytic Services Leadership. - The tools Health Catalyst uses for database development are great for clients, but are not great for developers. They promote bad database design and erode skills. I am a good Health Catalyst developer, but my actual skills are deteriorating. - I wish I had moved on from Health Catalyst a few years ago, after getting my feet wet in the Healthcare space. I believe my personal development would be more advanced had I done so.

Thank you for this review and feedback, and for having contributed to our company these past 3-4 years. Thank you also for sharing and affirming the positives that have been part of your experience. I also appreciate you sharing the cons in your experience at Health Catalyst, which highlight that we have meaningful work to do to strive to improve. I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out yet to be promoted, and I acknowledge that we as leaders could do a better job of clearly articulating our strategy, including our services strategy. We'll talk about this today during our all team member meeting. We also definitely want to enable an environment where team members feel that they are continuously learning and developing new skills and capabilities, not seeing their skills atrophe. We're investing in meaningful training through Health Catalyst University, and we're also investing in advanced data platform capabiliteis as part of 2021 planning investments. I hope these will make a positive difference for you. Best, Dan

Apparently only managers need to improve

Analytics engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good coworkers

Cons

At Health Catalyst, only the people managers get annual performance reviews. If you are an individual contributor you don't get any kind of formal review. This is totally ironic. We're an outcomes improvement company and we consult with our clients about how they are supposed to continually monitor their performance and implement interventions to improve. But we don't follow our own advice. How are our people supposed to learn and grow and get better if they don't set goals and check in regularly with their managers on those goals?

Thanks for your review and feedback. We encourage people managers to have 1:1s with team members every two weeks, and to have a continuous discussion about the team member's performance and what is going well as well as opportunities for development and improvement. We have also found it useful to gather annual 360-degree performance feedback on our people managers, and as we've found this to be helpful, we are extending this practice of annual performance feedback, in a more formalized manner, to all team members, starting in 2021. We hope that this addition will address your feedback and be helpful to you and to many other team members in their ongoing growth and development. Best, Dan
