Pros

Catalyst leadership is amazing, especially during economic struggles across the country. There is no way to not be affected by this. But even still, leadership has done everything possible to lessen the impact to team members. This is still a great place to work.

Cons

Some decisions on platform direction could have gone better. While still trying to do the best they can, leadership has made decisions without understanding the full impact.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. I am pleased to hear that we are following our cultural attributes, even in difficult market realities. You are correct about trade-offs about transparency. It sounds like we could have done a better job on that front in your particular case. Please share that feedback with your Leadership Team member as well, so we can all learn together. Thanks for your significant nine years of contributions to our success Best, Dan Burton

Pros

Great work/life balance. Health Catalyst values their employees and does the best they can for them. Annual base salary increases have been fair.

Cons

Multiple down years in a row leading to declining benefits, consecutive layoffs, and probably more next year. The company is significantly de-emphasizing software in response. Health Catalyst may survive as a company but it doesn't feel like it will be an optimistic place to be a Software Engineer along the way.

Thanks for your review. First, I am glad to hear that we are living up to our operating principles and cultural attributes so you can have a balanced work-life and feel valued. I agree that market realities have been difficult. We have needed to make strategic adjustments that rely on building strong and deep partnerships with our clients that does include significant recent growth in services like tech-enabled-managed-services (TEMS). While we’re grateful to see this significant growth with clients, and we and they recognize the strong ROI and value proposition of these solutions, there is always a “T” in TEMS, and we will continue to need to be differentiated in our technology offerings in order to achieve our mission. We will discuss the dual importance of both our technology and our services to our overall company strategy, including with each of our three key stakeholders, such that I hope you’ll find a bright future ahead for you at Health Catalyst as a software engineer. It’s encouraging to see increased interest among prospects and clients for our technology solutions in our key areas of focus. Thanks for your more than four years of contributions to our success! Best, Dan Burton

Thanks for your review. I am grateful that a positive culture is reflected in your experience. I also recognize that while economic realities are difficult, and as we balance being EBITDA positive, this leads us to need to make difficult decisions, including restructurings. We strive to batch these structure decisions together as part of the annual planning process, which includes both areas of needed reduction, but also areas of new investment and growth. We are working through the final phases of the 2024 planning process over the next several weeks, which we will then finalize in February, and be able to turn our focus to great execution for the remainder of 2024. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself to address your anxiety. We care about our team members and want to make sure our work feels sustainable and meaningful. If you need help, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, our Chief People Officer (Linda Llewellyn), or your Leadership Team member. Thanks for your contributions to our success! Best, Dan Burton
