Mission driven culture, making a difference in healthcare

Pros

I have seen a lot of change as HealthCatalyst has grown over the past 4 years. The mission to transform healthcare has remained the driving force of the entire company: executives, department leaders, team leads, and individual contributors. I feel the drive to contribute to that daily and it is so rewarding to see the customers I work with having success improving their business to enable better care and saving patient lives. I worried that the great culture of innovation, humility, and balance would decline as rapid growth occurred. But is has remained fully intact. A year ago, I was concerned that wage adjustments seemed hap-hazard, but a recent policy was put in place with annual, very generous wage increases, not tied to promotions. If I am enjoying and excelling in my current role, it now feels like I could remain long-term. I can stay in the technical space and not have to jump into management roles purely to increase my salary. I am excited for the future of HealthCatalyst, the vision of the executives here, and for my own career.

Cons

I have been involved in a few internal improvement projects that either fizzled out or that were taken over by other team members due to miscommunication around what was being done and by whom. I appreciate that we are drinking our own KoolAid by trying to create a culture of improvement, but I wish it was better organized and that the "squeaky wheels" (louder, more opinionated people) didn't have so much power to override legitimate improvement process results.

There will always be things to improve, as long as we are always collectively willing to try, I don't think I'll ever want to leave either! Thanks for all you do!

Pros

Health Catalyst is really employee friendly. Work and home life are well balanced with many of the perks that catalyst has adopted. Great pay and benefits. The company really strives to make everyone feel welcome while growing at an unheard of rate. It is hard to keep up with all of the new hires but in all team meeting they are given an opportunity to introduce themselves to the company. The transparency between the C-level and other employees is amazing. I feel like I am aware of changes in the company and have a say in those changes as well.

Cons

The onboarding process was not very good when I first came on but I heard it has improved since then... If you aren't very good with time management work can pile up quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our company, we continue to hear from our new team members how useful it is to read these reviews on Glassdoor. We find it to be one of several very useful forums for improvement. We agree that on boarding was challenging for us early on, and we have been working hard to make improvements in this area. Grateful to hear that you are hearing of/seeing improvements internally to this vital process. We also commit to you and all Catalyst team members to hold true to the principles we believe have served us so well thus far. Thanks again!
