Pros

Health Catalyst is an innovative company that encourages "out of the box" thinking. The intellectual capital in the organization is striking compared to other organizations where I have served. Our technology platform out performs all our competitors and our mission is strong and sincere.

Cons

Travel is heavy and much of the staff works remotely across the nation. There is little day-to-day interaction compared to more traditional health care environments

Thank you for your feedback, and I agree with your enthusiasm for the innovation at Health Catalyst, and for the qualification of the team members who have chosen to join and stay at Health Catalyst. I also agree that travel is heavy and due to our distributed workforce, as well as our flexible model regarding remote work, we have fewer interactions than perhaps might be ideal. We have some initiatives underway that I believe will help in these areas, including increased use of video conferencing, as well as a reconfiguration of the SLC office to encourage more interaction when team members are in the office. We'll keep working on it! Thanks for choosing to join Health Catalyst and contributing to the mission! Best, Dan

Pros

Challenging people: Amazing people who are all doing their best to row in the same direction, while making all the mistakes we humans make, but still enjoying the journey together without finger pointing, complaining, or otherwise poor behavior (except for when we do these things, 'cause were human). Bottom line, we aren't all that great at it here (yet), but we're better at it here than any other place I've ever worked in my 20 year career. Best group of people I've ever worked with. Love you guys! Challenging mission: Helping sick people get well. What could be better? We do have a challenging mission. Its an amazingly difficult, always changing landscape in healthcare. It's the hard that makes it so good. Challenging jobs: You will never work so hard or feel so rewarded. Everyone here is smarter than me (but usually not snotty or condescending about it). I have to bring my A-game every day. I love coming to work every day.

Cons

We are experiencing all of the typical growing pains around communication, span of control, operational standards, etc. etc. etc. that all high growth companies face. You will feel challenges while working here. The difference is you get all the good stuff (that you usually don't get elsewhere) that compensates.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words, and for your leadership at the company, for so many years! I feel a particular sense of gratitude and appreciation for teammates who have been in the trenches with us over such a long time horizon. Thank you for the thousands of ways you've directly contributed to our success during that time. We will keep working hard to try to live up to your generous comments. Best, Dan

Pros

- A profound commitment to team members. The default answer to most issues ends up being a consideration of what solution is best for the team member. - Challenging environment with an opportunity to learn new things - Benefits and work-life balance and second to none - Leadership is methodical and considerate when making tough decisions - An awesome mission to improve healthcare in the US

Cons

- I've had the opportunity to work for a few managers in my time here and the experience of the team member can still vary greatly from role to role and department to department. - Variation in each team's approach and tools used, this can make things very difficult for cross-functional team members that work with many product teams. - Growing company headaches still remain

Thank you for your thoughts and feedback, informed by over five years at the company! Thank you for all of your contributions during those five-plus years! I share your perspective about the importance of manager development, training and accountability. We are rolling out the 360-degree manager feedback by the end of this year, and we will utilize that information to help us improve in this important area. We've already rolled out the first round, with a subset of leadership team. We'll roll out to the full leadership team and extended leadership team within two weeks, and then extend beyond that by the end of the year. We as a leadership team recognize the central importance of the relationship between the team member and their manager, and we will focus here to enable continuous improvement. Thank you again for your contributions over so many years! Best, Dan
