Thank you for this thoughtful, detailed, insightful review, feedback and advice! So much of what you share is resonant and I hope, like you, that we can realize the broadened vision you describe, and believe we can. One thing we've talked about recently as a leadership team is how we as human beings sometimes overestimate what can be accomplished in a year, but underestimate what can be accomplished in a decade. In a few days I'll celebrate my one-decade anniversary with Health Catalyst and it is remarkable to consider how far we've come in that decade, and I do feel excitement and optimism about what we can achieve in the next decade as well. Grateful to be on that journey with great teammates like yourself! 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.
