Pros

Management recently held a forum for remote workers to hear our thoughts and concerns about what it's like to work offsite. Within 30 days of that forum, a new policy was rolled out to allow generous reimbursement for home office expenses, like furniture and equipment. This is true democracy at work and just one more example of the respect that Health Catalyst shows all its team members. By the way, we're all referred to as owners, never as employees. That's just plain cool.

Cons

I've been trying to come up with something to put here for the past two years. Let's see...the home office in Salt Lake City is at an elevation of 4700 feet, which takes some getting used to for us lowland dwellers who come to visit once a month. But don't change this on my account.

Agree with your perspective, in that it requires respect to earn respect-- our success as a company is based upon every single team member treating one another with respect. Calling one another owners certainly goes to the fact that we all have an equity stake in the company, but it also goes to the fact that we must all, each of us, own our respective futures. We must each own our work. We must each own our reputation. This is also what we mean when we refer to ourselves collectively as owners-- we all "own" the responsibility of making this a fantastic, sustainable organization. Thanks for all you do!

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.
