Thank you for your feedback and perspective. I appreciate it very much. And thank you for your kind and encouraging words about the positives of working at Health Catalyst. I also appreciated your advice and perspective about maturing our software capabilities and providing more exposure to our overall technology strategy and product development efforts. This will be an area of focus for us in 2020 in our ATM meetings, to devote more time to updates by leaders in the product organizations and the services organizations regarding new developments and investments, including during today's All Team Member meeting. Thank you again for choosing to come to Health Catalyst nearly four years ago, as a Software Engineer, and also for choosing to stay at Health Catalyst. I sincerely appreciate it, and recognize the central role that world-class software plays in our company's overall success. 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.
