Pros

The company is growing fast and there are a lot of opportunities still at this stage in the company, it is an exciting place to work. Leadership and management care about the people in the company, they sincerely care about everyone. If you are interested in a career in healthcare, data, or both, this is an excellent place to work. You get a good variety of projects when you are part of the ASO (Analytics Service Organization). The ability to have complete flexibility of working from home or in the office, is really nice. This culture that was established pre-COVID set our company up to succeed and have very few issues with offices temporarily shutting down where other companies had to flounder and quickly adapt. I feel like the communication from leadership and management is very transparent and honest. The benefits package is overall really good. The Health Catalyst culture is great, the people that work here are hard working, bright, and refreshingly humble and kind.

Cons

401K Matching was reduced which has been a major frustration for many, including me. Experience, assignments, and opportunities vary a lot depending on clients you are assigned to. I am very confused about the PTO policies, I really don't know at this point what an acceptable amount of time to take off is, I feel like the total PTO and holiday allotment has been reduced.

Thank you for your review and for your feedback about your experience over the past 1-2 years as a Senior Analytics Engineer at Health Catalyst. I appreciate the positives that you shared in terms of feeling cared for, communicated to, and finding the culture positive, with flexibility and variety! I also appreciated the feedback about the cons in your experience regarding the reduction in the 401(k) match and some confusion about PTO and holidays. It is particularly tricky in the Services functions to find an acceptable and sustainable balance between hours worked per week, desired vacation time, and a financially-sustainable amount of billable work. We have developed a framework that allows for some flexibility for team members to dial up or down different components and still be financially sustainable. There is a presentation that we reviewed in a prior All Team Member meeting that the Professional Services Leadership also has that could be helpful -- perhaps you could request from your manager. I also appreciate your feedback in working to understand team member interest as an important component of client assignments -- this is a great suggestion. I'll share this with leaders, and would invite you to also share this with your manager. Thank you again for your feedback and for your contributions to our mission! 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.
