Pros

I have worked for Health Catalyst for several years. I had worked at a Fortune 500 company before that whose culture was less than ideal. I saw how being a publicly traded company could warp its perception of itself as a slave to the judgment of Wall Street analysts. Propping up the company's reputation with that audience trumped all other considerations. It created a truly toxic culture where instead of pushing hard for the right things for the company and for our clients, everyone was just trying to survive. So, as Health Catalyst went public, I braced myself for what I had assumed would be a similar inevitable trajectory downward. But to my delight and grateful surprise, our company's leadership has been able to maintain and even strengthen their focus on supporting and respecting all Health Catalyst team members as their highest priority. We're two years into our history now as a public company and we're still true to our principles. We still put people first. This maintains the most empowering and wonderful company culture of any that I've ever experienced, by far. Such an investment in us employees (or "team members" as leadership refers to us) makes us want to reciprocate with our best performance every day. It makes us want to continue to treat our clients with the greatest respect and give them the best experience possible. When our leadership tells us to be "owners," it's not just talk. We feel a sense of ownership and pride in our company and in what we do, because it's clear by their actions that our leaders trust us.

Cons

Nothing is perfect. There will always be opportunities to improve. The great thing at Health Catalyst is that these imperfections are usually isolated, and leadership's dedication to making decisions based on sound principles and thorough data ensures that such opportunities will be discovered and improved.

Thank you for choosing to come to Health Catalyst and to stay for nearly a decade -- how fortunate we have been to benefit from your expertise and your dedication over those many years! Your words are very meaningful to me -- I have felt such a strong and abiding desire for Health Catalyst to continue to live up to its mission, it cultural attributes and operating principles, always, but specifically as we made the transition these past few years to being a publicly traded company. Every company faces challenges that test its resolve to remain true to its values. We at Health Catalyst are no different, and we have not been perfect in our response. But certainly our desire has been to remain true to those principles and values, and it's worth the continued focus and effort to enable this to continue in the months and years ahead, absolutely. Thank you again for your encouraging words, and for your many years of dedication and contribution -- you have made a real difference at our company! Best, Dan

Thank you for your review and for your contributions as a Business Analysts these past 5+ years! I'm glad to hear of the positives you've experienced with management/leadership, benefits and great teammates. I also appreciate your constructive feedback around areas where we can improve -- including career growth, and better M&A integration. We do have more work to do in both of these areas, and we're striving to learn from prior missteps and continuously improve, while also finding a sustainable "pace" of strategic acquisition. I do believe that we can be a long-term consolidator, particularly at the apps layer, and that this role of consolidation will continue to be warmly received by our clients and will lead to further growth opportunities, including career growth. But we must pace ourselves and do great integration work in each case in order for this strategy to be effective. We'll keep working on it! Best, Dan

Thank you for this review and feedback, and for your five-plus years of contributions to Health Catalyst! I appreciate also your feecback and advice regarding how we manage through realignments in our business related to each year's performance. These are tricky elements to manage, no question, and require judgment to be applied. In 2021 planning we've opted to provide more time, space and flexibility to leaders in managing through these types of situations, and I'm confident we'll learn a great deal from this 2021 experience, and hopefully we'll be improving over time. Thank you again for your review and feedback! Best, Dan
