      Pros

      Health Catalyst has been a nice place to work over the past 3 or so years. When hired I found the compensation to be average and the benefits to be exceptional. There is a nice work-life balance and a calm, methodical approach to work that I appreciate. Senior leadership takes feedback very well and seems to do a great job trying to improve the culture.

      Cons

      The cons that I see are related to Professional Services (ASO) and seem to be related to recent growing pains. I am actively looking for other jobs due to below-market compensation and lack of opportunity in a red-hot market. Since joining the company I have had my total compensation decrease despite receiving promotions. While there are active conversations to improve pay, there does not seem to be any real sense of urgency leaving me feeling discouraged and frustrated. There is a lack of opportunity to meaningfully develop within the company. Promotions are infrequent and seem to be given on tenure rather than ability to contribute. New hires are frequently brought in at more senior levels despite modest backgrounds. There is a disconnect between hiring and promoting criteria. Further, it feels like there is a lack of opportunity to showcase competencies and talents discussed in the hiring process. This has been a difficult culture to connect with for me and I frequently feel very distant and out of touch with my colleagues (if I work with anyone). I am sure remote work and the pandemic play a significant role here, but there is more to it than that. There has historically been a monoculture in the company. For all of the benefits of that culture, it can be hard to fit in if you come from a different background.

      Thank you for your review and feedback and for the three years of contributions you've made here at Health Catalyst. I appreciate the positives you shared, and also the challenges you've faced. In today's All Team Member meeting we'll be communicating some important compensation commitments we're making to every team member that should help address some of your very valid concerns. As I've shared in our previous all team member meeting discussions, I'm concerned that we need to make up some ground regarding our base salary competitiveness, and some other components of compensation. We are working hard to improve here, and I hope today's commitments will signal actions that are designed to back up those words. I also appreciate the need to connect with others -- we have made some investments here -- like in family movie experiences, office lunches, etc. to make progress here, as we've been able to, but it's been significantly limited by the pandemic and by our budget constraints. We'll keep working on this. Thank you again for your contributions and for your feedback. 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.
