Pros

Great culture, I feel comfortable asking for a one on one discussion with any of the leadership. Genuinely tries to address concerns and is very generous in making accommodations. Very flexible with work life balance, my wife has had two children while I have been employed and I have never felt pressure to prioritize work above the needs of my family.

Cons

Slow software releases to custom client environments. Slowly and painfully trying to standardize the environments while keeping existing clients happy and supporting old releases. Hotfixes, custom install scripts, and supporting linearly scaling sql server vms causes a slow churn of software updates. DOS, gets maybe 2 or 3 releases a year. Meanwhile other (EDW, big data, and BI)software vendors are surpassing Health Catalyst in features and scale.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and thank you for your 5+ years of contributions at Health Catalyst! Thanks also for your positive feedback, and for your perspective on some ways we can improve from a software development perspective. As part of our annual planning process we have a focus on our DOS platform vision for the next 3-5 years, which includes a deep dive assessment of where we are strong and where we need to improve and strengthen our capabilities relative to competitors. We'll discuss this project during a number of all-team-member meetings and I believe we'll make specific investments and plans to improve in 2021. Thank you again for your contributions! Best, Dan

Pros

There are some really amazing people still there. Depending on the department, there is still a good work life balance.

Cons

The current organizational structure offers limited paths for career advancement or promotions, particularly with the strategic shift toward expansion in India. Additionally, there is a growing disconnect between leadership's strategic direction and daily operational realities, leading to execution challenges on the ground. Things feel very disorganized. People are stretched thin.
