Pros

- The people. Some exceptional people work at this company and it is wonderful to rub shoulders with them and learn together. I've grown so much personally and professionally because of my coworkers. - Executive leadership team that strives to be transparent, live by the golden rule, put team members at the center of decisions, and avoid over or under reacting to problems and concerns - Mission-based company (it's so awesome to be contributing to something that matters) - Meaningful cultural values. And they're not just buried in an employee handbook or written on a wall somewhere--we review and try to implement them in our work regularly. - Good benefits. Some of my favorites = flexible PTO, 3-month maternity/paternity leave (with flexible options on how to use it), HSA (with company matching), Tava Health (mental health counseling), gym/fitness allowance, cell phone, internet - Remote work, which allows flexibility in schedules and everything else (extremely helpful as a parent!!) - Encouragement for continuous learning and growth. Company offers internal courses related to communicating, servant leadership, understanding products, etc. There is also an annual review process that allows people to assess strengths and weaknesses, and identify goals and growth. Additionally, there an education allowance (which I have never used because it doesn't currently cover travel for educational conferences, but it's super cool). The company favors promoting from within (something I've experienced). It's not perfect (sometimes it depends on where you work and who your manager is) but I've seen lots of career growth opportunities available to people seeking them out.

Cons

- LOTS of change in recent years. Layoffs, reorgs, adjustment to leadership and company (and product) strategy have happened several times. It feels like a rollercoaster sometimes. When leadership is transparent about decisions, it helps immensely, but it's still been a wild ride. Some of that is the world/industry we're in, and some of it is specific to our company. I hope to see things calm down in the near future and we'll feel more sunshine peaking through dark clouds. - Understandably, as a public company, there is a lot of focus on balance sheets, stock prices, and shareholder interests. Sometimes I miss the startup vibes but pros/cons to working for a public vs. private company.

Health Catalyst Response

Thank you for taking the time to share this thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means a lot to hear that our operating principles and cultural attributes—particularly transparency—are resonating and making a positive impact on your experience. We work hard to ensure these values are not just words but are lived out in our decisions and daily interactions. I’m especially grateful to hear that you’ve found such fulfillment in the people you work with, the mission we’re pursuing, and the benefits that support you both personally and professionally. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our focus on continuous learning, flexibility, and employee well-being is valued and making a difference. At the same time, I recognize that change—especially at the pace we’ve seen in recent years—can be challenging. I acknowledge it is a steep mountain to climb each year to “earn the right” to keep moving forward as an independent public company. I believe we have the right plan and, most importantly, the right team in place to navigate the path ahead. Your feedback reinforces the importance of transparency as we move forward. Above all, I want to personally thank you for your more than nine years of contributions. Your dedication and impact over the years have helped shape who we are today, and I sincerely hope you continue to find a bright and fulfilling future with Health Catalyst. Thank you again for sharing your perspective—it’s incredibly valuable, and we’re grateful to have you on this journey with us. -Dan Burton
