Pros

-Mission- and value-driven, and leadership follows the mission and values, driving the rest of the organization to do the same. -Excellent workplace flexibility. I'm able to set my own schedule, as long as I'm meeting deadlines and attending meetings. In addition, I have complete flexibility to work from home. -Top-notch team members at the top of their game. This makes work feel less like...work...and as an added benefit, you learn a lot from your colleagues. -Leadership accepts and listens to feedback from team members, and they act on that feedback, resulting in continual improvements. -Affinity groups (LGBTQ, Women Empowered, etc.) create excellent opportunities to meet people outside of your working "circle." Not only does this provide networking opportunities, but also opportunities to make friends at work.

Cons

Alignment between Technology and Services organizations could be stronger. Right now, it requires team member effort to work across the two organizations (and I've found pockets of meaningful collaboration), rather than organizational alignment integrated into processes. With everyone as busy as they are, if it's not expected/part of the culture, it can be challenging to drive that alignment and collaboration.

Thank you for this thoughtful review, and for your 4 years of service at Health Catalyst! I appreciate the positives that you shared, and hope we will live up to the specific comment about being responsive to team member feedback and then working to continuously improve. I also miss doing more of the small group lunches as well. I've migrated a little more towards more skip-level 1:1s and then more "town hall" discussions, particularly with offices outside Salt Lake. To that end, I love holding skip-level 1:1s, and have not yet reached my goal of 200 for 2019. If you'd be open to it, let's set up a 1:1 -- Jenn Howard can help us find a time, and it would be great to visit with you. Alternatively, Linda Llewelyn, our Chief People Officer, is holding these smaller group sessions and it would be great to have you join one of those as well. I believe the invites are sent out and then the first team members to sign up are accepted until we're full. Thank you again for your feedback, also regarding the need for further integration and collaboration between technology and services. I also see increases in collaboration, while also seeing further need for focus. We're working on this! Thank you again for contributing to the company's success these past four years! 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.
