Pros

The Executive Team genuinely cares about their employees, both at work and as people. We have a wonderful mission and core values.

Cons

I think we are seeing some of the negative effects of focusing on positive EBITDA rather than solely on growth. Projects are not as well resourced as they need to be to succeed.

Thank you for your review and feedback, and I'm grateful that you feel the care and concern that leaders feel for each team member at Health Catalyst. Thank you also for your feedback of the challenges of getting to profitability. This is definitely a challenging achievement to reach, and is one reason most startups never reach profitability. It does require sacrifice and judgment and discipline, no question. I'm really proud of the company's achievement of positive adjusted EBITDA in Q1 and Q2 of 2022, and am excited for us to achieve full-year positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2023. This is a strong signal of the sustainability of our company's business model. I also appreciate your feedback around the challenges of integrating multiple acquisitions. I do believe that we'll have some time over the coming months to continue to focus on great integration, while public and private market valuation expectations come into closer alignment with one another. We'll strive to continue to set a very high bar before pursuing an acquisition moving forward. Thanks again for your feedback! 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.
