Pros

Company leadership is principled and sincerely dedicated to the wellbeing of everyone at the company. As an employee I have the autonomy to work on interesting problems and it is energizing to know that my work helps improve patient care in one way or another. Company culture is very down-to-earth.

Cons

The stereotype of medical IT being 10+ years behind the state-of-the-art is unfortunately pretty true and it can be frustrating. But, the innovation is ongoing and Catalyst is probably better-off than most healthcare technology companies in this regard.

Thank you for your feedback and perspective. I agree with your feedback, both positives and challenges, including the difficulties of healthcare organizations often being slow to adopt innovation and new technology. I'm hopeful that we can see meaningful progress here in 2021, including in our data science and AI offerings. I'm really excited by what Jason Jones, our Chief Data Science Officer, has been sharing as part of our planning process. Your team's work is really encouraging and pragmatic and also innovative! Thank you again for your feedback and contributions! Best, Dan

Pros

- Leadership listens first - Mission is inspiring - Long term success orientation

Cons

I doubt there is another company out there where I would be willing to work this hard. They way they really drive home the mentality of ownership can cut both ways. This isnt really a con, but those looking for an easy job to coast in, probably should look elsewhere.

Pros

Health Catalyst is a great place to work. There are a lot of great people that work here, the benefits are good, and the pay is reasonable to good. There is a great team atmosphere with team members that look out for each other. Leadership is genuine, caring, and also looks out for team members. There is a focus on culture, which is not just lip service. The leadership team leads by example and has great integrity, which is extremely refreshing. The company is growing and expanding, which opens up opportunities for growth and advancement. There is often flexibility in how you do your job. With the right motivation there are great innovation opportunities as an individual that can make an impact.

Cons

Health Catalyst is a growing company which I feel is at an inflection point. Previously teams have worked hard in a very flexible environments to build diverse processes to deliver great results. The problem is some of these processes do not scale at our current size and technical debt has built up. As our technology offerings have grown and more teams are simultaneously developing and deploying solutions in our client environments, there often isn't sufficient cross team planning and management. This leads to teams stepping on each other’s toes and can lead to unstable results. Support of deployed solutions can be ambiguous and lead to some team members left to pick up the pieces.

I appreciate your feedback about some of our growing pains and opportunities for improvement, and I agree with your feedback. Let's keep working on scaling our processes, and our products to be more and more usable, repeatable, sticky and valuable to our clients. Best, Dan
