Thank you for your review. Team member morale is a top priority for our leadership team, and I’m grateful for your feedback here. I agree that we face plenty of challenges, and it is always a steep mountain to climb each year to “earn the right” to keep moving forward as an independent public company. I acknowledge that economic realities have created a situation where we’ve needed to make difficult decisions to balance long-term sustainability, including reducing our ability to offer promotions for every team member. Promotions are still considered as needed, with a bias toward promoting from within. Over the past 3.5 years, we have seen approximately 900 promotions-from-within occur at Health Catalyst. I would also acknowledge that as part of each planning cycle over the past several years we have found the need to reduce some team member positions, which is always a painful and difficult circumstance. We will continue to work to provide generous severance in each of those cases, and to rally around affected team members in helping them find a positive next position. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. - Dan Burton

Thanks for your review. I’m glad we are living up to our operating principle of transparency. We will continue to prioritize base salary increases for team members in this planning cycle and future planning cycles, consistent with team member feedback about this important component of compensation. We appreciate your more than three years of contributions to our success. Best, Dan Burton

Pros

I really love the people I work with. They make the difference for me. The company offers great benefits and for the most part the culture is great too.

Cons

The last two years have been very difficult for the platform team. With the changes in leadership I feel we lost focus and direction, resulting in a significantly negative experience for software developers. I'm concerned that we might not meet the deadline for delivering CDP (if at all).

Thanks for your significant nine years of contributions to our success and your thoughtful review. I agree that the people at Health Catalyst are amazing! I also agree that the need to make strategic adjustments has been difficult. I believe our next-generation data & analytics platform is an important, critical part of how we deliver on our mission, and we are excited to continue rolling out this next-generation data & analytics technology with more clients in 2024. I also agree with you about the value of visiting directly with members of the technology team. I have been spending time, 1:1, with leaders at different levels recently, and have also devoted meaningful time, face to face, with our early clients who are our innovation partners with the next-generation data platform. In the last three weeks I’ve spent two full days in face to face discussions with these innovation clients, more deeply understanding their experience with the next-gen platform, and another full day with the next of our clients to migrate to this platform. I come away from all of those discussions really energized and encouraged by their feedback and enthusiasm. There is still a great deal of work to do, including a multi-year effort to migrate our existing DOS clients to this new infrastructure, but I’m more convinced now than ever that this is the right technology architecture and strategy to meet our clients’ current and future needs. In our next 2-3 All Team Member Meetings, technology leaders will be providing all team members with demos and updates on this critical project so we can all have a better understanding of where we are, and be in a position to contribute to this project’s success! I would be happy to spend some time with you 1:1 to understand more about your perspective and experience. If you feel comfortable, please reach out to me via email or your Leadership Team member. Thanks again. Best, Dan Burton
