Pros

Driven team members, engaged and supportive management and leadership, pretty good work/life balance, great growth environment, very flexible methodology, and work environment

Cons

Onboarding to the company isn't formalized well, a lack of unity in enterprise tools/methods exists, the flexible methodology has led to a lack of established standards and practices internally

Thank you for sharing this review, and for the specific observations and suggestions to address a number of growing-pains-related issues we face. Your suggestions resonate with me, and we will highlight these suggestions in today's all-team-member meeting, along with ensuring these suggestions are received within people operations and education & training. I agree that as we scale we need to become more consistent and standardized in our approach, including in onboarding. I like your concept of a "client biography" to enable newly-assigned team members to come up to speed quickly. Further, I appreciate your thoughts about increasing our focus on mentoring. I've really appreciated the chance to participate in the mentoring program that people operations rolled out a few years ago, and know that they are considering ways to continuously improve. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and for choosing to come to Health Catalyst to contribute your talents to the fulfillment of the company's mission! Best, Dan

Pros

Health Catalyst has a great leadership team that is transparent and employee focused. Company has great benefits: generous 401K match, great health insurance coverage, generous education reimbursement policy, etc. Coworkers all seem to embody the company cultural attributes. This is the first place I have worked where being humble is a sought out attribute. Everyone I work with is humble, smart, and hardworking. Plenty of opportunity to expand your skillset and grow with the company. Each client has different needs and its been great getting to work on several projects where I am able to learn new things! Great flexibility of working hours as long as team members are contributing appropriately. We are encouraged to have a meaningful work life balance and I appreciate the ability to work off hours if needed to attend things like children's school events.

Cons

Initial training/onboarding could use some polishing. I believe this is being worked on and am confident that newly hired Analytic Engineers will have a more robust training plan. Remote work can feel lonely at times

Thank you for sharing this review, and for your encouraging words. I also appreciate your observations and suggestions. We are working to make the onboarding process as strong and robust and effective as possible. And we know we can always improve. Also, we just discussed the education and training plan as part of our most recent board meeting last week, and we'll summarize those plans in today's all team member meeting. I was really excited and encouraged to see the robustness of those plans. Finally, regarding ways to build camaraderie between remote workers, and in general, this topic has been on my mind of late. We have a few ideas we're working to implement, one of which is to more pervasively utilize video in our meetings. We're doing this in leadership team meetings each week, and it does seem to improve the connectedness. Further, we're considering ways of "gathering" more often -- around "hub" locations, for activities and events. We have a significantly flexible, remote-friendly approach to our work, which we want to preserve, but we also sense the need to gather and feel more connected as well. One concept we're considering utilizing is more company-sponsored "lunches" for team members, on a more regular basis, across the company. We're still working on it. If you have additional ideas about what we can do here, please feel free to send them to me or to Linda, our Chief People Officer. Thank you again for choosing to join Health Catalyst, and for contributing in such a critical role as an Analytics Engineer. I appreciate the work you do, on the front lines, with our clients, to accomplish our mission. Your work matters a great deal, and I'm grateful to try to support your work each day. Best, Dan

Pros

I love working at Health Catalyst! They are fantastic at accommodating a flexible schedule. As a single parent, I can’t tell you enough how valuable it is to be able to pick up my kiddo from school and hear about their day. Management is logical and analytical with their decisions yet remain very compassionate. They help foster a sense of community and encourage us to help better the lives of others. My teammates are a fantastic lot to work with and I am grateful for every day I have with them and this company.

Cons

Inter-team and inter-product communication is clunky, but improving I think.

Thank you for sharing this review and perspective, and thank you for your kind words. I'm really happy to hear that you feel supported as a single parent. That is hugely important to us as a leadership team -- that every team member feel consistently supported in their pursuit of work-life integration. I also often schedule my meetings around my kids' activities, and hope every team member will feel that they have the trust of their management to make those personal decisions for themselves. I also agree that we can improve in our overall communication as a company, particularly between teams and functions. We have some organizational updates on the way that should help us improve here -- we'll talk about those in tomorrow's All Team Member meeting, and in follow-on communication as well. Thank you for your contributions as a senior software engineer. Your work contributes directly to our ability to scale in pursuit of our mission. Best, Dan
