Pros

This is by far the best company I have worked for. It's mission makes you feel excited about going to work each day, the CEO leads the company by example: his honesty, humility, hard work ethics, transparency and genuine care for EACH team member is something I have never experienced before in my life. Amazing benefits, flexibility to work from home, a wonderful office with treats, fresh fruit, drinks and gym with amazing instructors. Abundant opportunities (and encouragement) to develop and grow professionally. I can see myself staying and working for Health Catalyst until I retire!

Cons

Some people are overloaded because of a hiring freeze or a really lengthy and painful hiring process.

Thank you for your kind and generous words and for your commitment to the company's mission. I appreciate your feedback regarding the importance of manager training -- we're working on collecting feedback through the 360 process and then using that feedback to guide our coaching and training of mangers. I believe we're making some progress, but I wish we were accelerating that process more. But I appreciate your patience as we work on this. We'll also continue to emphasize the attribute of humility -- of increased importance for managers and leaders in fulfilling their responsibilities, including being careful listeners. Thank you again for your contributions this past year! Best, Dan

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
