Pros

We have trustworthy leadership who sincerely look out for our best interest as employees; we are put first and it is felt. I also appreciate the job security they provided during the economic uncertainties related to covid, even if it meant pulling back on some (not all) of our benefits to avoid any layoffs. They can't make everyone happy all of the time, but they do their best and it's apparent.

Cons

This is especially felt during covid, but I do miss not being able to go to the office once or twice a week for social interaction (and to get out of the house). Along those same lines, this is one of the downsides of working for a company with so many remote employees; I'm one of the few on my team that is local, but in a selfish way I wish all my team was local so we could do more face to face. On the flipside, however, I do appreciate working for a company that gives me the opportunity to interact with a diverse mix of teammates from throughout the entire country.

Thank you for your review and feedback and thank you for your four years of contributions at Health Catalyst as a Data Engineer. I also miss coming into the office, but am excited about the progress we're making on the new office, and thankful to hear of the positive news regarding vaccine development and distribution which will likely enable us to safely reopen the offices some time in 2021 -- we'll see exactly when, but whenever that comes, it will be a happy day, at multiple levels. Better days are ahead, and I'm thankful to look forward to those better days with dedicated colleagues and 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.
