Health Catalyst Reviews

Pros

Very transparent and makes an effort to have a great employee experience.

Cons

Large company with many remote makes it hard to network and meet people.

Pros

I am a "seasoned" IT resource. I have worked for multiple fortune 500 companies, all of whom claimed to be employee centered. Not a single one can stand beside HCAT on employee centeredness. Their benefits, PTO, stock grants and most importantly genuine concern and care for their human resources are not matched within the IT industry. I recommend this company as THE place to work for their family, balance and professional growth.

Cons

I know they are actively trying to raise base pay. I trust them to do this despite being public and so insanely generous on the benefits (3 days off for the 4th of July Holiday) package. If you really would evaluate the entire package it far exceeds other companies.

Pros

Leadership is great and look to take care of their people. Excellent business processes throughout the company.

Cons

Pay is not in line with the industry and the stock price has been tanking lately.

Pros

Flexible Time Off 401k Great Healthcare benefits

Cons

Stagnant compensation along with isolated work conditions.

Pros

Decently transparent, executives seem to care about employees.

Cons

Executives seem to be out of touch in regards to what the industry standard is in PTO. They claim that we have flexible PTO but in the recent team meeting they clarified it to say a minimum of 10 days (does not include company holidays) and team members are to fall between 10 days to 17 days PTO a year. This does not align with the industry standard of tech giants nor the local tech companies. On average, the tech industry offers 20-25 days PTO on top of holidays. Some team members are being micromanaged somewhat in regards to how much PTO they are taking and it would be nice if executive leadership would reevaluate how much a team member should typically take as long as they are getting their work done. Just because someone on the same team decides to take the minimum PTO shouldn't mean others on the team can't take more.

Pros

I've been at Health Catalyst for over 1yr now and still love it. While reading other reviews, I think it's important to keep in mind that Health Catalyst is a very large company with multiple departments, business units, products, and teams. Those with negative experiences don't necessarily have the same experience as others. This review is based only on my experience. Team Members (employees) are treated with respect and rewarded/prioritized above all else. I've never been at a company with this kind of a culture at the very top. Health Catalyst has always been very transparent. Team members know at all times what is going on without worrying or guessing. Benefits and perks are excellent. PTO is certainly unlimited and untracked and only requires manager approval. Any reviewer that states otherwise should probably contact People Operations (HR) to have a discussion with their direct manager. I've never seen anyone have an issue taking PTO - even last-minute or internationally. It's fantastic being able to take an extended lunch with my family or go to an appointment during the day and not worry about missing work or having to use PTO. Additionally, my PTO has never been rejected, and I feel like I truly can take it whenever. Family health insurance is very cheap and very good. While I may be the exception, I've experience incredible growth opportunities. Everyone is professional and trust-worthy to get the work done and I haven't seen any micro-managers, slackers, or suck-ups. I have had two direct managers and both have been excellent! Each subsequent manager is better than the last; supportive, transparent, and professional.

Cons

While I definitely appreciate the RSU compensation, it can be disappointing at times because it's tied to the volatility of the market, however I really believe the value will increase long term. Base salaries for existing team members are currently lower than the current market rate. I'm very hopeful that the 2022 Radford market salaries will be accurate and result in some higher base salaries. While other benefits are also important, base salaries result in more immediate liquidity. Slightly increased corporateness. Formal annual career planning was suddenly implemented with a lot of semi-unrelated "busy work" questions instead of deliberately thoughtful and consolidated questions. This makes me a little nervous about any forthcoming performance framework.
