Pros

Health Catalyst is simply honest and straightforward. The company lives by its mission through exemplifying the cultural attributes: smart, hardworking, and humble. Realistically, I couldn't ask for much more from this company. They take care of their customers. They take care of their employees. We are doing something special here and would recommend to anyone that has the opportunity to join our company family to do strongly consider it. Check out the company website, the benefits section, and other reviews; these will provide you a long list of pro's that go above and beyond anything else I've experienced.

Cons

I took a 5-10% cut in compensation, this could be attributed to change in title and years of experience directly related to new title. Health Catalyst is not the market leader when it comes to pay but they are competitive. With growth and success comes need for continual flexibility to ever evolving policies, nothing major though.

We also sincerely hope that culture and what it is like to work here at Health Catalyst will always remain as a reflection of those things we commonly believe (and refer to) as the "things that cannot change". There will always be things (many things, in fact) that will necessarily change as we grow and evolve as a company. The "business of doing business" is something that, in many areas, requires a completely different approach when you are a company of 5 vs. 50 vs. 500 team members, and we have seen many, many changes along these lines over the past 8 years. However, the things that cannot change-- the mission, the vision, the "why" of what we do-- these things should never change-- and leaderships commitment to all team members is that these things won't change. It is the secret sauce that has brought us this far. Thank you to you, and to each member of our team, you are what makes our company great!

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.
