Amazing start up making a difference

Pros

Health Catalyst is an amazing place with a focus on transparency, a senior group of smart and kind leaders and an incredible market opportunity. I have worked for several other start ups and all others have been plagued with volatility, uncertainty, and ruthless executives and this company has none of the former and the latter but has a bit of uncertainty over the years but I knew all about the finances and the risks we were facing since management has been so transparent.

Cons

There is a lot of work that challenges a person trying to balance non work obligations of life. The company says that family comes first and I feel that is sincere but it is hard to not feel the pressure to work evenings based on the expected growth but hey this is a start up and I wouldn't expect otherwise.

I was in a meeting with our CEO, Dan Burton the other day, and he made the comment that one of his goals/greatest professional wishes 10-20 years from now would be to look back on his career, and be able to identify dozens of successful companies that were either founded by, or currently led/managed by Health Catalyst alums, in a variety of industries and in a variety of roles. I truly share his desire, and I believe the rest of the management team would agree. In your cons section I think you touch on one of the great challenges we all face in life: "How do I manage all that I need to do?" To me, work life balance does not mean I never work long hours or have rough weeks of evening work. I just came off of a two month stretch, working to close the transaction for our series D investment round, wherein I "spiked up" considerably in my work obligations, because that is what my job required from me at the time. However, now that the round is closed, I don't feel guilty about taking time off, away from the office, to spend time with my family. To me, that is how we all should try for work life balance: feeling secure enough to take the time we need to give our best to our customers, our fellow team member/owners, and our investors. Notwithstanding the above, I totally get your comment that its hard sometimes to not feel the pressure to work evenings/longer hours. I feel it too sometimes. My advice to you and any others would be this: we trust you. You need to judge when its time to "spike up" and work those evenings because that is what your job requires right then, and when its time for you to set the work aside for the next day, or week, and spend time on other things that are important. And finally, if you feel like you are in a "constant spike", you should feel empowered to raise your hand, and talk with your manager about it. Thanks for all you do!

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.
